I am totally in awe of everything you make. I don't dare make suggestions on how to finish your quilts. That would be like me suggesting to Michelangelo how to finish the frescoes on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

I love, love, love your work.

The second one - Quilting - no suggestions - as others have seen, your quilting is beautiful.

The third one - rich looking fabrics - what is the question (if any?)

There was no question! Just for show! Thanks!

they are wonky at the bottom because the wood backing stops abot 10-12 inches above my felt and my lines don't line up anymore! I have the printed pattern to make sure I do it right!

For the second quilt, (gorgeous !!), I would look at Judi Madsens quilts...she quilts with a strong geometric type of quilting that I think would fit your quilt...not any specific design in mind, just the overall feel of her quilting style would be great on that quilt.

great quilts! I'm going to be contrary to what others have said and say use the same binding as the background fabric in #1--the applique is wonderful and really needs to be the focus. On #2, I'd probably outline the floral motifs in the corner blocks, SID the colored sashing, and use more dense quilting in the backgrounds--either geometric or a floral repeat. #3--lots of blocks! when you quilt I'd probably go for just and E2E as piecing is the star.

I also agree with quiltingshortimer to do the binding the same as the background in the first quilt, so as not to take away from the beautiful center of the quilt.
