Oh, that's really lovely! You have a real talent for design. And a totally
stash quilt as well. You have my deepest admiration!

I thought it would be nice if she had a quilt to sleep under and then save me postage and the worry of sending it to New Brunswick by making her a very fast Irish Chain quilt. It looks as tho it will be finished while she is here, there are no batting pieces big enough to put together here. The Irish Chain part is a large scale pink/yellow and blue floral paisley, the chain is a deep raspberry geometric tone on tone, and the borders are a bit of this and that found in the stash.

shivering in bed during a Wisconsin winter. Thank you Patti. It was a rather fun top to make! Diana "Patti" wrote in message ... That's really pretty, Diana. What a thoughtful hostess! .
