I turned the blocks into a rows and fields variation and it showed more of a design that way. Yours does have a nice soft look to it though and I can see the design. Nice work and published too!Lorishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14378229521840536213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-61287630362139514072010-04-15T10:02:16.281-07:002010-04-15T10:02:16.281-07:00I like it!I like it!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05806433527382808106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29563767.post-50234519380692567192010-04-15T07:52:28.400-07:002010-04-15T07:52:28.400-07:00Darlene,

It grows on you. It has a soft vintage look that would be perfect in a guest room, or a little girl's room, or draped along the back of a chair or loveseat on a shady sunporch.

It got you out of your normal zone. Even though you didn't like doing it, I think you did a great job and deserve an A+! Besides you can now claim to have a quilt in a book!!
