    Thanks so much for the incredible pattern and the wonderful quilt along. I can't wait to finish the quilting on mine and then start a bigger one in a different color. Am I addicted to this block or what?????

    I loved the parade. Congratulations to all of the quilters who finished theirs. They look beautiful.

    Really planned to get mine finished today. Dream on. 6 hours in I've got 2 of the stars done. Surely I'll be able to finish it this week, I hope. Love all those in the parade. They are really beautiful. Loved the quilt a long. It was great.
