Lookie here!

Its beautiful. You must be so proud of it.

But what are 20-cent geese?

That look fabulous, Nann! My guild is going to be doing a monthly block of FGs - I'll be sure to point out your quilt as an example!

Sally,

It took four nickel squares (5") to make each block. Four nickels = twenty cents!

Nann

Congratulations, Nann. How exciting for you! To be in the same magazine as Ruth McDowell - oh joy! To be in a magazine at all - with a photograph of your quilt. Just great. The quilt is really lovely, too. I'm not confident enough to do a scrappy - but this is tempting >g< . In message , Nann Hilyard writes

Wow, dancing in the moonlight for my famous friend!!!

Wow, that's an eye-popper! I do love batiks, and this looks like lots of fun. Roberta in D

Congrats, Nann.

Snif, we get to say "we knew you when . . "

Happy Stitching, Janet of Gar

Each block in my quilt is made from two pairs of 5" squares. The blocks measure 4-1/2" x 8-1/2" unfinished.

You can see other tops I've pieced from nickels in my Webshots album,

Ooo! That was my favorite one on the page! I love the colors!

What a lovely Scrappy Thing!

Thanks so much for the information and the pictures, Julia. Seeing a selection like that really does make it seem possible. I prefer the jewel boxes and the Aunt Sukey's Choice. I'm not quite ready for the friendship ring - but, then, you graduated to it!! I have done one, but it was monochrome and very small. It was using all the scraps I had in one colour! I might progress and try two or three (colours) >g< But it is something I certainly would like to do. I did one I hated, and that rather put me off (it hasn't yet been finished!) .

Actually, I didn't piece the friendship ring quilt. I bought the top at an auction and quilted it.

Very nice - love the colours!

What was Anita demonstrating. Because the show for Monday in my area is Baby Quilts also. I could maybe look on the directory under what is being taught on each upcoming show to find the one you are going to be on.

Thanks,

She in PA

She -- and any other confused persons ;-),

Please note -- *Anita Grossman* will be on the Oct 24 show.
