ReplyDeleteThank you Lorna for all of the time and effort you have put into this QAL! Your ideas and patterns are totally awesome. I totally loved it! It is time for me to find some more fabric and get back to my project. I was loaded down with other things but really look forward to starting again. <3
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorna for such a great quilt-a-long! I've got to get back to this too! I have several blocks cut out, just waiting to be sewn together. I'm SO STINKING EXCITED for how my first five blocks look though! One of my favorite patterns EVER!! THANK YOU for all your time and hard work. :)
