You will absolutely love this slideshow (click link)but of course, the true beauty of seeing these squares in person cannot possibly come through online. They're so great and the sewing is so appreciated. I think I've learned how it should be done!

Panel #11 square by Sydney Goldman
Panel #11 from all over!
September 5, 2008, panel 11 is all sewn together. This one has been on display on the kitchen floor for a long time waiting to be finished, so much so that we were all sad to fold it up and put it away. If you've been visiting the site looking for your squares, click on this slideshow and see if it's there.These squares are mostly from Massachusetts and Washington state.
Panel 12 BTG
Panel #12 from Alexandria Virginia!
When you view this slideshow HERE you may notice that these gorgeous squares from Alexandria, Virginia and from Lynn, MA are framed a little differently. Many thanks to Lolli Leeson for a generous donation of gorgeous striped fleece. The best thing about using fleece for this purpose is that the blanket really feels like it's something you'd like to snuggle with. The artwork on this panel was awesome.
