The hardest quilt I had to part with was a Dresden plate in bright/medium blues from the Quilt in a Day pattern, it was gorgeous and some of my best work. However, since it was a family reunion quilt, family members had sent fabric for the quilt and it gets raffled off at our bi-annual family reunions. Even my fussy brother, who incidentally won the quilt, told me it was my best work ever and I would be hard pressed to top it. I hope to make him eat those words sometime in the futue, but he was so happy with it I got several pictures of the quilt on his bed, guess he liked it.
