Hi there - greetings from the Yorkshire Dales, here in the UK.

Love the site and am hoping to learn/gain inspiration from members. Started quilting again recently as my daughter asked for a quilt for her 16th birthday - who am I to refuse!

Hello and welcome from the north eastern United States.

Pinwheel is my favorite block and your quilt looks like pinwheels to me. It's in my favorite colors too. Very nice quilt! :)

Hi quilterx7 - thank you for your lovely comments. Yes, its a sort of modified pinwheel - my daughter wanted diamonds (well, what girl dosen't). I am afraid this was the closest we could get!

Hi there ShowMama, Walen and Amma. Thank you all for your kind comments, especially about my quilts. I am self taught and put together quilts because I like the colour or shape. Most of my quilts are based around the HST and the patterns they can produce.

Its lovely to hook up with like minded people across the continents. We are limited here in the North East for shops and supplies, so most of my purchases are online. Whilst searching for supplies it is lovely to see what other people are producing. Long live the internet!
