Hi Tisha, I like the quilt, really nice job. That is something I always wanted to do, but I have never attempted it. Maybe I should start on a doll size quilt. It does feel really good to finish a project. Vicky
Good job on the quilt..I already started on quilts for the kids for next Christmas but nothing as fancy as yours..Mine are mostly raggy (but still a lot of work) I have 5 done and about 15 to go. :)
