I'm getting so close to having this 4 block applique quilt finished. Last week, on the last stretch of border I had to commit to how I wanted to sign it.
I wanted to explore some calligraphy books and find a really elegant J and O and perhaps make the numbers more exciting as well. However, in the end I decided that the space was small and so I kept it fairly simple. Next time I post about this quilt it will be finished!
My stars are growing as well. This really is the ultimate, portable take-a-long project for me. I should have ordered more quilt
patis... :0)

How I wish everyone had signed and dated their quilts.
How wonderful that you quilted in the year and your initials! Love that.
your stars are great, are you paper piecing them?
I like how you signed it and it is very readable. It is going to be such a wonderful quilt and heirloom.
Love how your hexies are growing.
I must remember to think of the quilting idea for signing and dating, it looks great. I love your stars, great take along, I agree.
Love those six pointed stars, and your hand quilting is wonderful!

I just found your blog and I HAVE to have some Patis. Today is our local quilt show and I will check the venders but I don't have much hope for this. Guess I will have to search the web.
