    Just finished this tonight.
    This quilt was a Block Challenge. My first time to do a Challenge. I intended to make 12 blocks. After doing just one, I gave up on that idea. There are 48 pieces in one block. You can tell that I hate little pieces, thus the big blocks in between. This is not for anyone in particular. The quilting is so bad that I will do a thorough background check on them, to be sure that there is no one in their life that is a quilter, before I give it to them. I like it best when people who do not know anything about quilting see my quilts - they think the quilts are wonderful. hehehehe

    I think you are being much too hard on yourself. It looks really good to me, although I am not an expert quilter, just an advanced beginner.

    Love the quilt and the quilting. If it needs a home I have plenty of space for it.!

    How funny that you say this! I'm working on two baby quilts for twins expected in December, and as I was working on them this afternoon I was thinking about who they were going to and did they have any relatives that were quilters!

    Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous, and any experienced quilter would love it!

    The flowers are machine appliqued - raw edge.

    Does Watson have a bandage on his right, rear leg in your avatar?
