Where else can we watch such a beautiful quilt show in our jammies!!!!!!! My avatar is called Quick and Easy Irish Trip and it is from the book "Trip to Ireland" by Elizabeth Hamby Carlson. It is a combination of the Irish Chain and Trip Around the World. Made it for my daughter, Kim, in retro fabric and handquilted a diagonal grid. Her nephew Harrison's namesake is guarding it.

Hi, my avatar quilt is a French Braid, from the French Braid Quilts book. Here's a link to my post about it.

Mine is "Tillie's Posy Pots", by Joan Hanson, found in the book The Simple Joys of Quilting.

Mine is from an easy pattern sent with an ad for a quilting magazine. All it is is dark and light HSTs laid out in a pattern that I can't remember the name of. I got into trouble with Admin for trying to give someone the instructions, so that is my story. That's all I wrote.

My avatar is the quilt I made for my Grandfather's 90th birthday. It took longer to design than make, even though it was my first full-sized quilt and quilted by me. It has family photos, and the hatchet blocks are autograph blocks signed by family & friends. Grandpa was from Ohio, hence the Ohio star with the heart in it.
