Wishing heaps and more of luccccckkkkkkkk! Good for you Cindy. Everybody
needs to climb out of their comfortable rut and try something totally
foreign to their style at least now and then.
A word of warning about the Fairy Frosts. Some of them behave much like
velvet or corduroy and will slightly change colors on you if you turn them.
May matter, may not but aren't they just very specially pretty? Polly

That's good to know, Polly, thanks. I new you use those Frosts. And this
is way out my comfort zone for sure.
My daughter wants a quilt and I think she will like this one.

Wow, Cindy, I love the Fairy Frosts. And from your friend's blog it
looks like she's amazingly talented. You must take photos through the
process and keep us posted. I can't wait to see what you make.

and I also love making little things

Thank you, Sunny! She is very talented, although she can't see it. She says
anyone can do what she does and she MEANS that. She must have had a good
time this week too, because she asked me to go to Indianapolis with her in
April, She's teaching and they want her to teach that quilt!

Ah, that's pretty! You can do this, piece of cake, and fun! But I'd be
sooo tempted to shake up those colors just a bit, spin those blocks
around, make it Scrappy!
Roberta in D, Queen of the Scrap Heap, and of course if all those
bright scraps bother you after you're done with this, I'm here for
you!
