Unfortunately, I'm so crazy about slightly longer bed drops that a quilt I want to make for our bed is going to end up practically king size. Fail. Seeing your beautiful top come together is very motivational, though! Also, I have been known to lay on the sidewalk in the middle of landscaping projects. Totally normal ;-) Sign of a true gardener!Claire Jainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15040271123285093923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-85739804685200482572012-06-16T11:45:33.663-05:002012-06-16T11:45:33.663-05:00is that you on the left....in the garden party???
