I'm sure your SIL will be thrilled with her new quilt it's lovely.

Thank you Bonnie. I hope youre right. I have only met her once since DH and
I met, tho we talk on the phone a bit. I dont know what her tastes are except that she is a big Disney fan. I think this has a Disneyesque quality to it. ;-) Diana "Bonnie NJ" wrote in message ink.net...

Wow, thank you! It seems my favorite quilts always start with a few blocks

That is very pretty, Diana, and I know your SIL will be thrilled to get it.
I like the way it looks like the 9 patch quilt is laying kitty-cornered on top of another quilt.

You did such a good job! I know that it isn't your style, but SIL
will love it. Consider it a trial run for your own! Also, I think you should get extra points for making it a stash quilt.
