Love the colours you're using too Chooky! I'm back working on mine and I confess too that corn was painstakingly boring to stitch!

Peg - Happy In Quilting said...

Looks fantastic Chooky....

Satu said...

GREAT work Chookyblue;) Your colours are just perfect together! Love it!!!
I think I'll quilt my GJ by hand... so it won't be finished in time. I don't want to hurry with it... And I probably get my backing fabric in a two weeks.
