Thank you! I'm very proud of it, but of course, thinking about what I will do differently next time. When I squared up the quilt, I had to cut off a couple of edges, which means that there's no knot holding in the quilting along those edges, so the quilting is coming out already. So before I get to that point in my next quilt, I'll need to figure out how to avoid that. Maybe the trick is to not have the quilting go all the way to the edge? Of course, one GREAT trick would be to do a better job so that I don't have to cut off so much when squaring the quilt.

Thanks. I work for author Susan Mallery, so I didn't want to post the link in case it might be considered spamming. The quilt was inspired by her Fool's Gold romance novels, since we call Fool's Gold "The Land of Happy Endings."
