But I...Forgive me, because I am late to this party. But I am here now so let's get to the point. I agree with you on stunning and drool-worthy. Disagree with surfeit of finishes. There is a difference between "many" and "too many" and you may have many finishes but they will never be too many (because surfeit means excessive). Gosh, that backing fabric may just be the ticket to starting FMQ. Where can I get that?<br />Oh, I forgot to say, I am in love with that table runner and I am so jealous of the lucky recipient.Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15363550140143647850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-38354240341338009192018-04-03T12:32:08.213-04:002018-04-03T12:32:08.213-04:00Hey, this is really neat.

I also have Christina's book after I read that you purchased it and I was curious to see what projects were made with wedges. You picked one of my favorite patterns in the book and I can't wait to see the big version of what you are planning( Yes, I know, I think I do). Normally, my eyes crossed after reading instructions, but you are right on about how well the instructions were written and I, being the simple minded quilter, am ready to make a wedge quilt. I even found a 12" 30 degree ruler sitting in my ruler stockpile. After reading Christina book, I even learn some math and of course your post today I learned a new word. Your quilt is beyond beautiful and good for you to be gifting it. I can't wait to read your follow-up post because I really want to see a photo of the blue Staffie.
