About Circle of Friends : Take Two!

This is a place to share your results and discuss progress on a new quilt project titled - Just Takes 2 justtakes2.com/ .

This is a mystery quilt developed and managed by Gay Bomers of sentimentalstitches.net/ and Brenda Manges of www.dearjane.com/

Their 2011 trip to the National Folk Art Museum in New York to see Joanna S. Rose's collection of Red & White quilts served as their inspiration to develop this project. You can read more about that in this blog post.
