Very nice. I like the Zen

Very nice. I like the Zen garden someone referenced. It certainly has that feel to it.

Thank you.

Ooooo so pretty!!!! How big

Ooooo so pretty!!!! How big is it? Is it for anyone in particular? I have about 20 quilt tops left to me by my great-grandmother when she passed, theyve been sitting in a cedar chest for 10 years. My mother tried to get into quilting some time ago, bought the quilting frame (one of those "build your own") but alas never finished it. That may be something I need to learn to do next!

I guess I should say wall

I guess I should say wall hanging as it's only three feet by four.
You should try to quilt seeing that you have use of a frame.
All you have to do with the tops is get some batting and backing and get to it.
I have enjoyed doing it for years but now I want to knit.

p.s. Bet the quilt tops smell good from being in a cedar chest for so long.
It would be a nice gift to other members of your family.

I hadn't thought of it, but you maybe right. The quilting lines could be gravel. I named it after an old song" Pastime Paradise". I think I've seen that lion in Chicago. Thanks so much.
