Secrets Revealed

Well, I have decided to do a little research on this mystery quilt and see if I could find a picture of it online!  I know that's cheating, but everyone has this same opportunity, so if anyone felt as uncomfortable as I do, let them do the research too.

So, where to start...  I noticed in the directions, that the quilt designer was listed (Ann Jones), with a web site, an email address, and the quilt's name, Winter Sunshine.  So armed with that information, I went to Google first but was unable to locate a picture of the quilt.  Next, on to that website.  Still nothing helpful there.  There was, however, a reference on that website to their FaceBook page.  So I went there, and after backtracking a bit (to May of 2014,)   I FOUND IT!!!  I laughed and laughed and thought myself to be quite clever!!  Here's a picture of the original Winter Sunshine!


I'm not overly impressed with the fabric choices this person made.  That stripe in the zigzag is UGLY!  But I see potential in the actual design, and can envision my own quilt now.  I don't need a pattern to make these blocks, I can figure out the measurements myself,  OK!  I'm feeling good about this now!  On with the sewing!
