Maybe this is the quilt to try all those quilting designs you've been wanting to try and then hang it on a wall for reference somewhere- enjoy the colours and the Stephanie Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02779662119039675249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475230888987905743.post-24121464094578885112011-04-25T13:27:25.276+10:002011-04-25T13:27:25.276+10:00The best thing about polyester is that it wears be...The best thing about polyester is that it wears better overall than any cotton!

Thank you for sharing. It's too bad about the poly blend fibers...quilting practice is a good way to look at it. I love the birdies you've added.
