Of All Of Your Quilts
#41
I have two favorites because of the sentimental meaning behind them. First, a memory quilt of my dear MIL on her 90th birthday which is two sided and took me 3 1/2 months, and second a Christmas gift for my DH in 2017 with the names and service dates of my grandfather, my dad, his dad and my DH micro-embossed in the borders, & service records on the label.

I think that quilt is sooooo much more interesting because the blocks are not all the same size. You did a wonderful job. It is magnificent. And thanks so much for this post - no - this quilt show. Very enjoyable.

I should acknowledge every one of these beautiful quilts. However, I'd never get it done with all these unique and wonderful works. Every one is special to the person who made them. The stories are good, too.
Thanks for posting them.

❤️Love❤️Love❤️Love❤️ All of your beautiful quilts, they are fantastic! I don't expect to ever get to your level of quilting, but really enjoy seeing all that you have done. I'll be starting my quilting in two weeks when the grandsons have a week off of school. I want them involved too, picking out the fabrics they want to use, finding an easy pattern for their first quilt, cutting their squares and learning to sew. I tell you, they are really excited, though the youngest (6) picked one a bit too involved already and I said we can certainly do that later. Still getting all the supplies we need, I'm as excited as they are.

Unfortunately I'm unable to post my pics but can still share a story.
Of all the quilts I've made, my favorite is from a free BOM sponsored by Connecting Threads several years ago. While piecing, decided it needed to go to a favorite cousin of mine. The top sat around for a year or more before I had it LAQed. When I got back, I couldn't part with it. Had no real affection for it until my quilter waved her magic wand. My husband shrugged and said "just make another one"... I know, my reaction was "are you out of your mind"? I thought about it for two days and decided to do just that. Still had many of the fabrics used on the original and from my stash, enough similiar fabrics to pull it off. She loved her quilt and had quite a chuckle over my story. Mine sits nicely folded over an antique ladder back rocker in my living room. I look at it at and enjoy it at least daily. I named her "Selfish".
My favorite quilt gifted to me was from JenniePenny. We met for the first time years ago and she gave me the gorgeous quilt named "Pulsar". Its been posted here in the past and it is gorgeous. I treasure it more than anything I have, use it often and it hangs on a beautiful oak quilt rack my husband made for my Mom that I later inherited.

This thread is truly inspirational!
Daffy Daphne, I think your quilt is amazing and very beautiful! Is that the apple core template? How small are your pieces?
I have special feelings for this top. It was my first time working with batiks and I felt they had such a primal energy.
