Our group each completed quilt squares and we assembled them together to make this beautiful custom designed quilt for Morningstar Mission’s Auction.   It will now go off to get quilt stiched to the layers and then we will make the binding……and it will be finished!!

This quilt is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined!!
We were all so excited!!  Click onto the flying photos to enlarge them.
