"This was just the inspiration I needed! I had made a race quilt with strips left over from a wedding gift quilt that I wanted to give to the same couple for a crib quilt for their first baby. When I saw this, I realized I could use some of the orphan blocks left from the original in it! Thanks for the great idea!!"

"If one could find "Curious George" fabric, then this would truly be a curious quilt."

"I love the rug, but the bonus picture was my favorite. I love dogs, and yours is adorable."
