I finished this 36 1/2" square quilt the week after Christmas, now some people would say, oh my how late I am, but not me. I am not late, I am very early for Christmas next year. My glass is always half full you see. Hand appliqued,machine quilted, and a lot of ironing made this quilt one of my favorites. I hope it does for all of you too. I will send you a painted dowel stick to hold if you want me too. By the way, the quilt is not crooked, I hung it crooked.
