20 Lisa England { 11.10.09 at 8:56 am }

This “big bundle” might better be called an “enormous bundle”. With so much stuff, maybe you should split it into 2 bundles and make twice as many people happy. Even with 2 bundles, they would still be big.

21 Jane { 11.10.09 at 9:04 am }

Fabric looks beautiful!!! Would LOVE to win it!!! )

I haven’t been quilting very long, but I love looking at quilts in which the blocks create a secondary pattern depending on the colors and values of the fabric that you choose.
They always look SO beautiful and so challenging!

Thanks for a great give away!
