Good luck! I love the colors and patterns you've chosen. You'll love this one, none of those 1.5" pieces to cut and sew and the embroidery goes quickly. I did mine in blue then the wall hanging and door pillow I did in red.

Good luck to you! I didn't make that one either but have the pattern. It's on my to-do list. Can't wait to see how it turns out! :)

the borders look great.....I'm sure you are probably already stitching the binding down........

The TTS is a great quilt......bet you have a pile stitched already as they are very addictive once you start.......i'm sure you could get it done by the end of October........
