Thanks Louise. Haven't posted the site before. Have been sewing
since the treadle days, so lots of experience and lots of good
teachers & friends who give me good advice.

Here is another quilt you might (will) enjoy. It is the Opportunity
quilt for our show on March 12 & 13 in Melbourne, Fl. Susan & I hope
to have a meet-up if anyone else is interested, let me know. It is a
good show.

I hope you get your transfer system working, because I'd love to see
more of your quilts! I can't believe I hadn't seen your site before. You
do wonderful work!

Louise:

Do you remember what size square you used for the Trip Around The World
quilt? I want to make that one for my "second" quilt.

I put these in Flickr instead of Webshots, so you won't have to put up
with the ads!

The one with the puppy fabric was the kit QFK sent me. The Trip Around The
World was made from my stash. I think I'm going to have to replenish my
marbles collection - I used most of it up in this one.

I started with a 2-1/2" square so that it was 2" finished. What colors
are you going to use? I'll be looking forward to seeing it.

I think I'll do a rainbow one like you did. The rainbow look appeals to me
so much.

Thanks! I was really happy with the fabric they sent - in fact, I might
even look for that paws fabric myself.

At Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival last week, I noticed lots of fantastic dog
fabric, including several with paws. You should have no problem finding
more.

I just found some paw fabric at the LQS today - I hadn't been in for a
while, and had load of fun looking around.

Quilts For Kids is a national organization (www.quiltsforkids.org) that
provides quilts for children who are in hospitals or in need in some
way. Downy became a major partner, and that's how I heard about it (and
a friend's niece had been a quilt recipient). Several of us here sent
away for a kit and then made one or more from our stash to return to
them. Fabric in the kit was precut into squares and strips, so they made
it really easy for us.
