Great job, anonymous stitcher! <br />And Thelma, I like your way of thinking. I like the way you placed the blocks in the last picture. Indeed, it will emphasize the beautiful blocks more if you put them in the middle. Oooohhh!! can't wait to see the progress on this one. Hope you will share many pics. :)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-73751547775432151762013-08-08T15:10:58.135-05:002013-08-08T15:10:58.135-05:00A really true friend you have but considering how ...A really true friend you have but considering how sweet you are I am not surprised at all....what goes around comes around and looks like you setting will start another great project.

LOL What a wonderful gift and one that you will probably cherish forever. Every time you look at this quit I bet you think about your friend. I really like the way you have placed your blocks, like it so much more than the pattern. And I think the fabric you have chosen is perfect, in fact I am going right now to FQS and purchase some of the black bundle. Thank you and my husband thanks you for showing me something else that I just have to have, but that's what friends are for, right?Diane E Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429408745579450112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282341523536457596.post-69053551177126355662013-08-08T09:23:10.383-05:002013-08-08T09:23:10.383-05:00I just finished all of these block stitcheries so ...I just finished all of these block stitcheries so I know how much time and effort went into stitching them!

If it had been me I would have cried when I opened the package and then gone into a panic attack, knowing how special it all was and how could I ever bring such honor to this gift giver. You are the right person for this task and I know you'll do a wonderful job. Looking forward to watching your progress. Just wondering, is there links to the postings that you could share with us that moved this generous person to do this for you? I find it all so interesting.
