Wow!...These sunflowers are amazing . . . and hard! Wow! You have tackled a difficult project with enthusiasm and zest - good for you. Sometimes I need easy so I can sew without much effort. Sometimes I want hard so I can challenge myself and prove to myself I have the skills to succeed. <br /><br />I want to start a Jubilee quilt but not because I'm 50. It's because we're approaching our 50th wedding anniversary. It's a few years away but I figure I need to get started soon so I'll finish in time,Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1898155445938416840.post-11989271157401977462020-05-08T19:56:37.849-04:002020-05-08T19:56:37.849-04:00That quilt will certainly be worthy of being a spe...That quilt will certainly be worthy of being a special diamond jubilee quilt!!! Your first medallion is totally gorgeous! I too was past the 50 year mark when several bloggers were making their 50 year jubilee quilt and now I'm past the diamond jubilee landmark, so I will consider my Dear Jane to be the height of my quilting accomplishment.
