It is in my very favorite colors in the world and will give me the encouragement I need to finish it and keep it for myself. Selfish I admit, but I need it right now. Congrats to the other winners and I am sorry to those who didn't win. I have a bunch of stuff i should give away as well!! HMMM! Maybe i will. Thanks again Preeti. Say Hi to Paul. I have sent my email address on to you by email!Cindy Makihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144338664382007334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-37013002343298691332016-03-30T16:21:08.714-04:002016-03-30T16:21:08.714-04:00I use pigma pens for labels.

It reminds me of what my sisters and I used to do on hot summer days: sit in front of our avocado green box fan which sat on our shag carpet --yes, in 70s!-- and we'd make strange sounds with voices through the vibrations. If I had the quilt, I might add a teal or brown circle to each center of the fan, then donate it to charity. What's the finished size?

I finally understood (I think) it's about the stripes not running the right direction in all the squares. At least it is the only problem I found. The colors do compliment each other very well, and I agree with your husband's comment about the 70's. Everything was that specific shade of green even the shag carpet.<br /><br />You have a very good eye for color and design which has not changed with seasoning. I am still waiting for your first book!<br /><br />Would love to win the wonky template. It is not such an odd size as to be difficult to use in many designs.<br />Thanks for the opportunity to win something and respond to your great ideas.<br /> mom2pekes2@gmail.comnanainbfbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14820033024084997666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772130163577468176.post-53949203629947632842016-03-20T21:51:40.989-04:002016-03-20T21:51:40.989-04:00Well I sure would like, and I use the ones I have,...Well I sure would like, and I use the ones I have, the Pigma Micron Pens.
