I have to say that whenever I start a project I need lots of information and help, so I use patterns that have really easy to follow directions or squares that I have taken a class or tutorial on at my Quilt Bee. Otherwise I make a mess of things...there's a lot of math involved in "winging it" and I am not strong in math! :-) But, for not having had a class on this block, you did an incredible job--much better I am sure, than I would have done!<BR/>MarieA Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-1079161113136133362008-10-03T08:43:00.000-04:002008-10-03T08:43:00.000-04:00Well I think you did a fine job!!

I think you...Hi Janet, It's very nice to meet you. I think your maple leaf throw is very nice. I guess maybe it gave you some problems putting it together. You must have lots of patience. <BR/>I visited West Virginia two years ago. We were on our way to a military conference in Williamsburg Va. I stayed for a week. It was beautiful. I want to go back. I also visited Walton's Mountain and went to Ike Godsey's store and bought a Coke. <BR/>IHope to return someday and tour every back road there is and go antique hunting. <BR/>Maybe I'll meet up with you and you can show me the way. I love the accent everyone speaks with. It is thick and I could hardly understand folks sometimes. <BR/>ShandaChandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02049857446383419028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-22625341666744614372008-10-01T19:06:00.000-04:002008-10-01T19:06:00.000-04:00Love the quilt!

She hand stiches everything. I've been trying to get her to do some piece quilts and she said if I could find her pictures and stuff she'd give it a try when she comes for a visit in November. This looks perfect for her, although I am sure it is more difficult than it looks, especially based on your experiences with it. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration, before now i was leaning on trying to get her to make a King David's Crown quilt. This looks like a far better choice!Matthew Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02625103538582649633noreply@blogger.com
