(Yes there are some) I love the freedom of your quilts and it inspires me to break the "rules" and end up with a fun and unique quilt. Thanks for sharing and I am fascinated with your quilt back - how can the front compete?

Down here in Lafayette La - as you remember the very strong French infuluences everywhere - at The Borne Quilter we package Backing fabric as "Derrieres"! A 6 yard cut is a "Petite Derriere" and an 8 yard cut is a "Grande Derriere". It's all about having fun..... <br />Now, off my derriere and off to work!!!!dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759176045229564376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-47677620707031199772011-07-19T08:02:42.735-04:002011-07-19T08:02:42.735-04:00love it, love it, love it. a true TWO-sided quilt....love it, love it, love it. a true TWO-sided quilt. whenever this goes in a book, I want a photo of this side too!!!Tonya Ricuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10778059489713831067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-29563516813337419292011-07-19T03:27:04.930-04:002011-07-19T03:27:04.930-04:00Wow!
