We are spending 10 days in Scandinavia first. I wonder where the quilt shops will beg? Hugs Bronnie |

Your quilt is great!! And such a clever design too - I really like the
effect of the striped fabric. Allison Bronnie wrote: I have just finished a Japanese fabric inspired quilt called "Kirichigae" which means 'changed cut'.
