| I have had this quilt on the frame for at least two weeks. I was ready to start quilting when my DD got sick and I went to stay with her for almost a week.
I wasn't in the mood to quilt until Saturday. Now it just needs the binding. I hope to add that tomorrow. Linda OH |

| What an interesting way to layout 12" blocks! That "lattice" really makes a statement! Great job! |
|

| I really like that setting, Linda. Great looking quilt. SharonG/FL |

| And now it is finished! I put the binding on by machine this afternoon. Since it is going to a kid, I decided to do the binding totally by machine. I also caught two edges of the label in the binding so I only have to hand stitch two sides of the label. I must be getting lazy! LOL Linda OH |

| Very interesting layout. It looks great! Some child is going to be very happy to get it. |
|
| I really like it too! I always machine sew bindings for kids quilts, actually any quilt I know will loved a lot! I'm not so sure it makes it more durable but it sure is faster! Rosa |

| Very pretty quilt. Did you do all the quilting by hand? That was really fast! |

| The pattern actually makes me envision a campground, with paths between the various camping/activity areas. Very well planned out...I love it! Julie |

| Linda, very clever way to make 12 blocks stretch into a nice-sized quilt. When you design a pattern like this, do you draw it out on graph paper first? How do you know which blocks to sew together first? Questions, questions. |

| Lois, I didn't design the setting of the quilt. It is the BQ2 pattern and I used blocks from a block of the month. The pattern actually shows large print fabrics for the blocks. I thought it would be a good way to make 12 blocks into a larger size quilt. The size is 54" X 72". When I do design a quilt, I use EQ7 on the computer. The camp where this quilt will go is for kids from elementary to high school age. I usually try to make a quilt that an older child may choose. |

| Beautiful quilt! The kids will love it, and it couldn't go to a better cause. Quilting guild members must derive a great deal of satisfaction knowing that their quilt will brighten the day for some young person. Corinne |

| Very nice. I will have to keep that in mind for future projects. Thanks for sharing. |
