once the woman posted her quilt, it was promptly copied by another woman on the same board who offered no credit as to where she got the original idea. of well. now 3-4 months later, i have seen this pattern on several websites. it is a wonderful quilt to make. here is the link to the original quilt posting african princesses. the below quilt is a dfferent version that the one posted on the above site.
