This is a quilt I did for a 2012 Christmas gift for my DDIL. It was posted yesterday under My Most Challenging Quilt to Date - USA, but after encouragement from other board member, I am posting it here as well. Thank you for all your kind comments. I have had the pattern for several years but I googled the pattern name and came up with this web site for the pattern:

I added the red sashing, blue cornerstones with the state initials below, and a paper pieced star as the cornerstone in the border, to make it queen sized.[ATTACH=CONFIG]387212[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]387213[/ATTACH]

I'm thinking maybe I like the "specialness" of self designed pieces more than the actual look.

May I request???????????????
If you respond about a specific quilt but do not "quote" the post you are referring to, would you please at least identify the particular quilt by the quilt maker's name or the color/pattern of the quilt the reply is about.
"That's beautiful" or something similar tells the rest of us nothing.
