extra eyes

WOW! It pays to have extra eyes! Patty in Ohio, came across two quilt tops, and immediately thought I would love them.  Can I just say, I DO! We had some fun emails running backwards and forwards, luckily, the place was across the street from her job!
Payment sent, box mailed.. hi ho, hi ho, hi ho!

I'm crazy about both of them... The gingham and red/white/blue floral for sashing.. make me so happy!(below)
and the Weird black and white gingham in the top one with that rusty brown.. Yes, little things liek that make me smile... Thank you Patty for spotting them!!!!

    Score! Love them both. I've got a tablecloth similar to that floral sashing. Hmm, good idea for it.

    Gotta love the fact you can shop for quilts in other towns and in other states like that. Technology can be good. :D

    That black and white gingham is cut on the bias? Very quirky!

    This is Patty from Ohio and the pictures you took of the quilt tops are wonderful! I am thinking I should have kept the first one for myself! (ha ha) I am so glad you liked them.
