Cannot wait till 7am to receive Week 3!!!
Not received. Away from home
Can’t wait to start a new project!
late start but very excited to get started!
so excited to start this pattern. A dear friend whom I have known most of my life lives in New Mexico. He asked what did i do with all the quilts i have made. I said i give them to those I love. as I realized I have never made him one. He said I don’t have one. So i got to thinking what would I do special for him and his significant other. this pattern will be perfect. He loves turquoise so i definitely will put some in it. Now on to looing through my room of stash. 🙂 or running to the quilt shop.
so many beautiful examples coming through I had to see what started it all. Thank you.
Beautiful
Excited to begin!
can
can’t wait
Where can I find the cutting instructions for the larger quilts?
looks pretty
Love to quilt
Wondered if I could still do this just because I liked whateveryone else has done with it.
