I am so stinking happy with the quilt! I didn't mean for it to turn out so big, but what can I say, all my quilts seem to end up HUGE. Apparently I can't make small quilts. This is going to be quilted and put on my guest room bed, so if you plan to stay with me, you'll get to sleep under it!

Thanks for following along, and remember, I'll add this post to the tutorials and free patterns tab at the top of the blog so you can come back any time to print it out.

Enjoy every stitch,
Diane
