    I just pulled this quilt out of the washer and dryer. I made it for a silent auction to be held on November 12 at a dinner at our local country club. We are raising funds for a ministry that operates a camp in Romania that our church helps support and that 4 members of my family have served at.

    The pattern is called Follow the Leader. It is by Pressed For Time Quiltworks. The size is 59 x 70

    Ok, it does not show the cornerstones on the quilt very well. The corners are 4 blocks that were not used in the middle of the quilt. I did not do a good job at getting the borders into the picture

    What the pictures do not show is that these fabrics "shimmer" They are Asian type fabrics with lots of gold etching and such. The black fabric has so much gold in it that it was actually very hard to press. The iron just would not glide over that fabric!! It would have been beautiful for the binding but was much to much a Pain to use!!!
