My very favorite block in the world and you did a wonderful job. I've been searching for a pattern that's done without paper piecing - there was a time when there was no such thing as pp and this pattern was popular anyway. With a lot of hard work I made ONE block, and it turned out okay and made me happy just to have gotten that accomplished. I can't begin to imagine how proud and excited you must have been when you looked at your beauty of a Beauty and thought "I did that". Congratulations.

I have searched the galleries, but have not found another example of this pattern on the board, so here's mine, just finished this week. The pattern is by Cinzia White from Australia, with the border adulterated by me. The top is paper-pieced, and took me 5 months to complete. The quilting was the first piece done on my new-to-me frame, so leaves a lot to be desired, lol. Just simple stitch in (or near, lol) the ditch. I reduced the original pattern down to 55% size, and it finished at 50 x 56 inches. I enjoyed making it so much that I've started a second one.....
