Well, mentioned to my mom that he'd like one and she figured I'd want to help too.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your kind words and encouragement!Karinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180639647099463491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17705339.post-90630605277028966812009-01-09T15:56:00.000-06:002009-01-09T15:56:00.000-06:00I'm not sure if I even know what inspired the idea...I'm not sure if I even know what inspired the idea of making Al a quilt. I can't imagine doing something like that and having it look so awesome! I can't wait till it's done for two reasons: One, to see the finished product and Two, to see what you'll do next (perhaps make a whole new wardrobe with your new stash?)Suzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697795491225807326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17705339.post-20525302017347940562009-01-09T14:48:00.000-06:002009-01-09T14:48:00.000-06:00Thanks everyone.

Picked a name, will include it in the next post... : ) <BR/><BR/>Anon (I assume that's you, Mom), I was thinking the SAME thing about Mary Bobbins. (If it were up to my Dad, there would be "<I>bees</I> on earth, goodwill toward men"!) So when are you coming back up here to do some of the sewing on this quilt "from <I>both</I> of us"? Ha ha<BR/><BR/>LiEr, yeah, I'm so liking the squares too. For me, I think it's because when I see all the fabrics separately, I think "there's no WAY these would ever all look good together" but ya' just have faith and put them together and it works... Like magic!

That quilt is very, very beautiful. And I have to say that I am REALLY liking the "squares" side more and more as I see more of it coming together. I like the triangles, but the squares just grab me, I don't know why. Can' wait to see it all done but I also really like the suspense and watching it slowly and fabulously come together!LiErhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13022645291278425282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17705339.post-60847006811913230002009-01-08T15:43:00.000-06:002009-01-08T15:43:00.000-06:00I like the "Mary Bobbins" idea 'cuz of how your Da...I like the "Mary Bobbins" idea 'cuz of how your Dad would say Poppins.
