Which became this
Which then became this
Then I added these
So it became this
So the top is finished, which was my aim for today and for 2012. Thanks so much Jayne for keeping me on track with this. I have cursed it, I have sweated over it, at times I have been close to giving up on it, but now, I am so glad I kept going on our Lone Star days cos I love it. It's going to be put away now until next year when I will quilt it.
PS Don't forget to go here for my giveaway.
It would have been a shame if you had given up...it turned out absolutely gorgeous!!!
