"This strip piecing technique worked well in this context."~K.G.
Challenge Quilt (Panel #4)
"The Jacobean style garden & building will
work well as a school in some of the children's stories."

"Now on to the next Panel -this one is either the sock monkey's tree or the cave. Still working on the final designs for both. I saved the hardest ones for last!!" ~K.G.

The full project is to be hung and open to the public after grant-funded renovations at the library are completed this Spring.
