So much to drool over! I have a solid "one day" quilt, too. I have my little stack of greens and cheddars neatly waiting on my work stool (which means I cannot sit on the stool) hope to inspire me. My space needs me to start steamrolling through it and clean things up.

In Castlemaine for Castlemaine Applique Group yesterday I had the opportunity to visit Threadbear and saw the original of the Civil War Bride such a great quilt and loads of work as you can contest to. Well done.
