I like it very much. I have a 12 yr old wanting to make a quilt and I think I'll have her do that. She's made 2 small quilts with me b/4 in 4-H. I think she'll take right to it.........Jeanie in MO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165933559460121959.post-57399909405759751142010-02-11T00:19:52.335-06:002010-02-11T00:19:52.335-06:00In a way, you're still working on a quilt-- bu...In a way, you're still working on a quilt-- but this one is patched out of happy memories for Ladybug,and she'll have them forever.lwhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08731797783816953087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165933559460121959.post-69188440289822837682010-02-11T13:00:20.902-06:002010-02-11T13:00:20.902-06:00LW, I like that.

I'm curious, why do you piece one block at a time rather than chain piecing them all at once? I want to know so I can keep it in mind for future backward pieced quilts.Anita Esteshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05536204640038696190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5165933559460121959.post-31336062480087749632010-02-12T07:44:31.947-06:002010-02-12T07:44:31.947-06:00I did the 2 blks just to see how I liked it b/4 cu...I did the 2 blks just to see how I liked it b/4 cutting out all of the blks at once.
