Thanks to all of you because I didn't know the difference. I just retired so am doing the quilting I've always wanted to do but never found the time. All of you have become my sewing friend's and I love it.

Katesnana, I love the quilt in your avatar! Can you send an enlarged picture to me at [email protected]. It looks as though it's a nine patch with alternating squares and that you got the diagonal lines by putting a pink as your center on each nine patch. Did I get that right?
