[ATTACH=CONFIG]456823[/ATTACH]What a great post! I had to click through all my pics of quilts I've made to decide. I think I'd have to chose this one – it was a sewalong where everyone picked a block. Made me work outside my comfort zone and think a bit about color and placement. I had my doubts along the way but love how it turned out.

Ohh that bookshelf quilt is so special! I love that you used pic of the family on the shelves!!! How special it is to you. A real family heirloom...
The sewalong quilt is beautiful. I love the colors and it really gives meaning when you know others contributed.
I love the flowers quilt and the colors in the sofa quilt are so pretty!
The crazy diamond quilt is so colorful! I love it!
I cross-stitched 24 separate flowers and a quilting friend sewed all the blocks into a wall-hanging. This was before I learned how to quilt. It took the longest to make because of the cross-stitching, and it's one of my favorites, but I can't take complete credit for it since I didn't sew it together. I chose the fabric to coordinate with the flowers and designed the layout, she pieced the blocks, sewed it all together using SITD and bound it. I paid her $100.00 and I think she was very happy with it. This isn't the best pic, but you get the idea. I can take a better pic if anyone wants to see a close up.

Kathy T. That is the nicest memory/photo quilt I have ever seen. I love how you made it look like a book shelf with framed photos of all the generations. Awesome job.
So far the quilt I am most proud of is my hand quilted mariner's compass quilt. I designed it myself from start to finish. The center compass I did use a pattern from Judy Matheison's book but the rest I drafted out from scratch, including the handquilted ones.[ATTACH=CONFIG]456826[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]456827[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]456828[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]456829[/ATTACH]

I'm proud of a number of quilts I've made.
The one that's my avatar, because I designed it.
My rainbow quilt because I dyed the fabrics used in it.
My denim quilt because of how hard it was to work with the denim fabrics.[ATTACH=CONFIG]456836[/ATTACH]
The first one I ever did because it was all hand pieced and quilted[ATTACH=CONFIG]456832[/ATTACH]

Dotty and Sue -- Those are beautiful quilts. I've never heard or seen reverse applique. Seems like a lot more work! Is it? Sue -- those quilts are GORGEOUS! Love the colorful one. I made a t-shirt quilt that was very heavy too! Quilting it on my little DSM gave me muscles!
