A couple of years ago, Mary Lou Hallenbeck was the speaker at the Pieces and Patches Quilt Guild in Jackson, Michigan. She had written a pattern which she called "Four Patch Stacked Posies". I knew that this was something I really wanted to try. Not long after that, I had a chance to visit the East Lansing Country Stitches store. I found this material on sale that I thought would work for this technique. Finally, I had a chance to give it a try last month. The first step is to find the…

Would you believe my one-block wonder quilt top is finished! Whew! Here's what it looks like: So I'm wondering if it's bright enough? Seriously, I'm thinking I need to show my work.
