I also posted about it in my blog which you can read about here.

Geneva, Your quilt is just lovely! This has been a cool mystery as there have been plenty of stopping spots along the way!
Terrie, what about needles, a project bag, marking pencils, even a few fat quarters for their next project? I notice that people are happy with whatever gift they get! It is great you are having a drawing for those that finish!

One more clue coming soon in April. Then in May, I will be giving the final Clues - for both May and June together, because June is super easy - ;)

Any ideas what I can buy as prizes for the guild ladies who finish? Those who finish get to put their name in a hat and probably I will pick 3 or 4 'winners'

I thought some Aurifil thread in a small neutral kit might be nice. But what else?? Thanks for any ideas.
You ladies are such a blessing!

That is really pretty, Geneva.

I am not quite going to make the finish for this monthstill I am a lot closer than the last 2 months - I've also go a bit of redesigning going on with my stars, thanks to my stripey fabric. I think that I have persuaded Izzy that we want to go larger, but if not I can always use the extra borders for the back ;)

Very nice Geneva. I love your choice of fabric and your outer border totally ties it all together.

I like it! I also like a women who knows enough is enough. At the same time, like Cathy, my curiousity could easily get the best of me. I want to see it too.

Beautiful quilt, Geneva. Show it to us again when you get it quilted. It makes me anxious to get mine finished, but I am going to do the full size quilt. I am just so curious to see what it will look like. I think I have your border fabric for another quilt I am going to do when this one is finished. It is beautiful. Do you plan on entering it in some shows?

Whew! I wasn't sure I'd get March done, but I completed my entire top today. I've decided this is big enough. It turned out 70" square. I added a 1" finished border to the log cabin row. Then made four of the March stars 4" finished. I added the stars to the 4" finished border fabric I bought. The last border is also the backing. Now to quilt it all!

I 'kind' prepped him. ;) For about 3 years! LOL. Then, last week, my older machine needed repairs, and while in the shop....the est is history! To tell the truth, I'm a little intimidated by it! The next model 'up' had a few more features, but not worth the extra $$ as far as I'm concerned. Maybe now I will be able to finally do some decent practice on FMQ and save the $$ of having big quilts sent out to professionals.

We got the table too!

Yes Terrie, he loves you a lot! Had you been talking about that machine and he picked up on it, or did he just pick it out on his own. Amazing husband!!! Mine let me go get a new one a few years ago, but he wouldn't know the first thing about buying one.
