Japanese Jigsaw Puzzle

Sandy Corbin is a quilter and teacher from Southern California who comes over here to "vacation" several times a year.  However, we are always prevailing on her to teach a class or two during her visits.  And we always have great fun with her.  This time, it was the Japanese Jigsaw Puzzle.

None of us were able to finish the top during the class, so Sarah offered to host us at her home later in the week.  We all met on Thursday evening ready to finish our projects.  In addition to 4 children, they have 3 dogs of varying sizes, two birds, and a potbellied pig, all who had free rein in the house!  Interesting household but so much fun.

As we were packing up at the end of the evening, the power went down and it was pitch black.  The funniest part was that all of us immediately reached for our cellphones and downloaded free flashlight applications so we could finish gathering our stuff and finding our way to our cars.  Seems someone hit a power pole two blocks away and the entire neighborhood was in the dark.

Back to the quilt.  I really enjoyed the jigsaw part, but I'm not too fond of the borders.  Maybe they'll grow on me, but I'm going to look for a bigger print on the outer border....
