It is gorgeous fabric is'nt it............It just seemed to fit with the heart and home theme and the birdhouse fabric. I had it quilted with angels and love the way it turned out. Thankyou for your kind comment. Hugs jackie

I like the 'little villages' popping up at the bottom of the quilt.

Hi there, if you read my comment further down you'll see that it was made from a book called Quick and Easy Romantic Quilts. It was a joy to make if you can get hold of the book. Joanns.com has it for $17.99 Amazon too. At this time I have to pass on the quilt swap as I have health issues to deal with. Thankyou though. Hugs jac

Ah, thankyou so much, your kind comments are very much appreciated. I am thinking I I may have loaned it to someone as my books are all easy enough to find in my sewing room, but I promise to keep looking and will post it as soon as I locate it.
