If anyone has the chance, you should try and see ghostrider's Hoffman Challenge Quilt at Quilted Threads in Henniker, NH.

http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-81482-1.htm

It is absolutely fantastic. It is hanging in the upper story of this expansive space and can bee seen from several angles (as well as close up - lol). The choices of fabric coupled with the quilting is really fantastic.

ghostrider, you should not "blush" - you deserve all the accolades you have gotten and then some!! Becky (the owner) and I spent some time chatting about it - we both agree - WOW!!! Job well done.

Since some of us live too far to stop in, can you post a picture? I would love to see it!

Actually, the third post on the link above has the close up picture of it hanging - Much better in person. The colors are rich, deep and provide almost a 3D effect in viewing it.

Are you telling me that eastern Montana is too far from central New Hampshire to come see my quilt??? :shock: I forgive you, Marlys, but only because it's winter. :lol: (you know I'm kidding, right?)

I'm so glad you liked it, eparys, and felt it was worth the trip! Didn't my buddy, Georgette, do a great job on the quilting? She's the best! Blackwolf Quilting Studio http://www.blackwolfquilting.com/ Check her out, local or long distance.

I absolutely LOVED the quilting - the combination of SID, scallops, tiny cross hatching, etc just blew me away!! I have a BOM which I have just finished (which I have substituted green and Christmas fabric into). Becky said she was in our BOM - can not wait to meet her. Although I have a small Quilter (Voyager 17), I may want to have this one quilted.

Your quilt is magnificent!!
