Kathy, re: my avatar. Sorry it didn't come out clearer. It's a landscape quilt I donated to Blankets of Hope of Soldiers' Angels. I started with a pretty panel of a countryside, then appliqued some fussy cut horses, added some foliage around them, and then carried the colors of the panel into the borders with large, pieced strips, some which used Ricky Tims' convergence method. Select areas of the border had yarn embellishments and different quilting designs I tried for the first time.
