I finally did finish my quilt, but I know a lot of my "inspiration" came from being in the same classroom as Ruth. She's a master! I do love your flower, and think it came out quite well. I joke that I think I purchased every yellow-green fabric within a 20-mile radius of my house. I still love that quilt, though. (It's on my 100 quilts list: "Heart's-Ease" if you are curious. We both love purples, apparently, in our Ruth McDowell quilts.)OPQuilthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08622702911207665333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248550709010182156.post-62521990458152503822017-01-15T20:42:28.210-08:002017-01-15T20:42:28.210-08:00I went back to the beginning to see if there was p...I went back to the beginning to see if there was personal introduction and so glad I did.
