We just don't have any sources in the Northern Midwest that I can find. Although, sometimes I feel like I live under a rock!<br /><br />To Bonnie,<br />That trip around the world is so great. A dainty binding would be my choice with no borders to let the fabrics in the top sing. It will be fun to see what you choose as a finish. I'm sure those creative juices-mo jo is revving up about now.Lakegaldonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14473542867185039796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-22593358872458599562013-04-08T18:48:36.150-04:002013-04-08T18:48:36.150-04:00Yes, when I saw them, they seemed to say "Bon...Yes, when I saw them, they seemed to say "Bonnie needs to take us home!". Glad I was able to deliver them, then on to Whittles in KY. Did some serious stash damage there - but the prices were so good!

Except the one she has lays flat and nice. And yes it is still a top. My Mom sews beautifully but does not do much quilting of her tops. Well only the small ones.<br />Mother actually was given 6 tops and 3 she did have quilted. One was a bow tie with all kinds of fabric in it like cotton and courteroy. They make circles and do not have sashing. <br />The others are pieced blocks in different patterns.<br />DorothyDorothy Mathesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12353546725820007288noreply@blogger.com
