Its absolutely stunning. It looks so hard! Even as friend who has been quilting a long time couldn't figure out the pattern.

Pretty! Your list of items made for Christmas made me want to finish off by singing, "And a partridge in a pear tree!"

you mentioned a "curve", I had to go back to p.1 to see it...it is so subtle.....When I first looked at the lovely quilt I saw straight edges and thought, Oh, just a hst on the edges of a pieced center piece, now I see it in a different lite........either way, I like your colors, modern, but not outrageously so............good choices of colors
