:( Hi! Wendy, Well! you got the job done. I am a new /old quilter. While living in Kentucky (raised in Los Angles) I decided this retired news editor could make a quilt like all these , country females. Using old dresses I bougth at a attic cell, I chose a turtle pattern. On my moms 49th wedding anniversary I started the quilt for her 50th.. using scrapes from those old faded dresses. My mother got her quilt four months before her 51st anniversary. Ladies these take more time than I imagined. I did it all my hand, never using my machine. How do you intend to make one in one years time ??? My hats off to you all. Georgia
