    I think it is lovely too Rita. So good to enjoy something that you have obviously put a lot of effort into. I particularly like the shadow quilting. Simple, but can't go past it!

    Nope. I wouldn't be able to let it out of my hands either. I'm not big into paper piecing (hate it in fact), but for results like these, I might have to give it another go. Soooo gorgeous! Well done!
