It worked out well too. <br />I am sure that your husband is going to love your quilt.<br /><br />If you are interested in seeing some more beautiful wax batiks ( Dutch) you should visit Wanda of Exuberant Color( you can find a link on my blog list). She has written about them in the past week- she has some stunning fabrics.<br />Happy quilting,<br />Regards,<br />Annaquiltmom annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1415342804857434614.post-59176223491582203002010-04-06T21:07:13.903-04:002010-04-06T21:07:13.903-04:00I love that black and yellow print the most.
