Paula
Not stupid I actually used to teach quilting classes...why???

The next thing you know we are on the phone coordinating and planing... it was going to be a little tricky because I was leaving in a few days for a 10 day vacation in Oregon to visit family.
The package arrived in Oregon a few days after me.

This is looking great! I love free-motion quilting, so creative. I used to work in a Quilt shop, too!!! Love how things overlap in learning experiences.

What size squares did you use and do you know how much of each fabric you used ? I love it. I am hoping to find the fabric to make one myself. Thanks in advance.
