Spectacular. You may have to put a padlock on it when you take it out in public. I think you may have inspired another quilt in me.
Que hay en el bolso? What is in the bag? Why a fabulous quilt is what you will reply to the jealous spaniards.

I really like the block in the second row, second from the right - you should make a whole quilt with that as the inspriation!

Fantasic Quilt!!!! I love all those bright colours. Thanks for the cool cat buttons you sent with my block, they are wicked. I'm going to add them onto one of the other blocks that needs just a wee bit of jazz.

You're going to have so many fun sunny days on this quilt. The bag is genius.

summersadie said...

I'm guessing you're the 'Katy' that Willy-Nilly is making the bird square for. Am I right? Do you know who makes that bird fabric? I want to get some.
