Here's a picture of a quilt top that came in for sharing:

Sue, the maker, is hiding behind the left corner

& that's Linda off to the right.

 Sue made nine inch blocks and

used all reproduction fabrics

(I think I cut off the bottom row or two in the photo,

the quilt was so big!).

Isn't it wonderful?
