It's just that when you haven't done something you don't know and once you do know how, it seems easy - if not tedious. I have some blocks that my grandma made probably in the 40s or 50s out of feed sacks and I really need to put them together in a quilt top. I think I'm glad I didn't try to do it sooner as I have learned a lot in the last few years and I have more confidence now. I still don't know when I will finish it, though.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912222251238739813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-37711703185728046872014-04-30T01:39:12.094-07:002014-04-30T01:39:12.094-07:00That is a gorgeous quilt!

Let me know if I can help you match some of those fabrics. I love GFG quilts. I have personally finished two: one as practice that I picked up at a flea market and the other was my grandmother's. I still have one to re-do that was started by a great-aunt.
