Those sets look almost like a print; very cool.<br />That these are your favorite colors.<br />The way you based the basket on something you saw but changed to suit you.<br />And finally, that the quilt is large enough to cover torso to toes. <br />Congratulations!Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-76696695085454483272017-06-07T08:12:16.785-07:002017-06-07T08:12:16.785-07:00I really like your quilt, Audrey.

We've been talking a lot about "make do" lately, but I think the real appeal of that approach is that it's elegant. The construction informs the design. There's no waste, or anything precious or self conscious. To me, those are all very desirable things!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01596185668087389269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-41594657863463929742017-06-07T07:03:40.809-07:002017-06-07T07:03:40.809-07:00I love this top!
