I also made 2 reversible batik throw pillows. One side black and bright batik nine patches and

    You are on vacation with your new retirement LOL
    It sounds like you are having lots of fun creating these days. This is a lovely quilt- Our son will be 25 this year- where did all that time go to have grown up children.. Enjoy your playing- think of me in a couple weeks when I officially head back to the classroom. I am starting to dream of school- last night I dreamt I had 32 students in my k class- Yikes...Warmest regards,
    Anna
