Oh yes I did. A couple times! I saw the quilt on Louise's website earlier
and had thought to myself. Aren't those 9-patches lovely? A simple pattern
made so elegant with batiks.....little did I know. :-)

I understand completely, Kathy. I am also the grateful and comforted
recipient of a Hug quilt. MSM passed away in January, and that beautiful
Hug is an enormous comfort in those moments when grief threatens to become
overwhelming. It's something to treasure and cherish forever.

I think this may be the prettiest hug quilt I have ever seen -- the
simplicity of the sashed nine-patches in combination with the batik
colors is absolutely stunning. Great job you hug makers.
