Make a quilt, make a friend.
I really hope my partner likes what I made. They have been very quiet, so I have not been able to get any feedback to guide me as to whether they will like this quilt or not. Now to find some little goodies that I think they will like to include in the package, and then it is off to happy mail land.
Something fun for me related to this quilt - the paper pieced tulip made it to Flickr's Explore page! It was my second time being featured, both times a paper pieced project. It sure was exhilarating to receive so many sweet comments. I like to think that my little quilt block maybe have turned some new people onto quilting! Haha.
