I keep seeing these beautiful quilts in the avatar pictures. Would you please tell me about the pattern, what inspired you, why you chose those colors. Anything you care to share.

Mine started out as a logcabin flower design. I started to set it up and well it had a mind of it's own. I love it and will quilt it once I finish the borders! This was a scrap quilt I used all my favorite colors chocolate brown with pinks reds blues etc. I finished it in 2 days because of the momentum I had with it. It is 90x100 right now.

Mine is called "Twice as Nice" by Glad Creations and It is a queen size quilt I made for my DD#3 when she went away to college. I also made her 6 pillows in 3 different sizes to go along with it.

Mine is "A Dozen Yellow Roses" hand applique and hand quilted. I made it as a kind of reminder of my mother after she passed. (I saw the pattern and immediately thought of her.) This is also the very 1st quilt I put a real binder on, thank god you can't see up close. It hangs in my hall.

Mine is a basket pattern that i designed myself using all scrap pieces from other projects. It turned out to be my Hubby's favorite quilt and he uses it everynight whilt watching TV

Mine is an Eleanor Burns Log Cabin Quilt. I made it as a wedding gift for my grandson and his new wife last year.

Mine is a 3-D Bow Tie quilt that I made for a little girl that has Downs Syndrome, born this last April. It took me four months, but I quilted her tiny handprints, those of her siblings, and words to describe her, as well as her name. She is such a beautiful and special little girl.

Thanks for asking! I'm proud of it!

My avatar is a wall hanging I have in my sewing room. The center panel came from Clotilda's or Nancy's Notions, I can't remember which, the other quilting panels and fabric I purchased from ebay. There was no pattern, I just made it fit together!!

My avatar is a Christmas Cathedral Window, that I started years ago. It was to be a very small quilt....I used to work on it only during the Christmas season, but haven't touched it in several years.

Mine is a modified Carpenter's Star (I added an extra round). It was a baby quilt for my friend's first granddaughter.

Mine is a work in progress, I love doing the paper piecing and am over 3/4 the way through. It's a New York Beauty. I picked it up to work on something else for a while and have yet to complete it.

Mine is a Karen Stone pattern called ULS 11 and all paper pieced. I love a challenge and this one didnt disappoint!

Mine is a modified framed 9 patch...yeah, if you look, I did not put the nine patch in. It is the third quilt I made, and I made it one year ago. It is still one of my favorite quilts.

Mine is made from the book "Viva Venezia' by Christine Porter. My husband and I have made several trips to Italy and I am always taking photos of the church floors for quilt patterns...this book helped me make those photos into a quilt, and it is hanging in my husband's office. It brings back great memories for both of us. BTW, it is a great method for doing tumbling blocks without set in seams!

Mine is from a picture one of my daughters took while we were in Greece. I blew up the picture, traced the lines on to template plastic, and then took it to our local art store and had the blow it up. I then made templates of all the pieces and fused the pieces for my wall hanging. When I blew up the picture I was so excited to see the man sitting on his porch. My husband thinks its him when he retires!!!

Mine is a quilt I did of a pic of my Mom and me lol :D:D:D

Mine is a log cabin quilt I made for my youngest DGD. Appliqued the horse on. She loves it and I am a very happy Nana because she does.

Mine is a wedding present for my neice, it's a pattern I found in a magazine(can't remember the name of the pattern) and I loved the idea of using multiple fabrics. I went with all her favorite colors.

Mine is a baby quilt for our neighbor's baby across the alley two years ago. The white spaces are written with little boy sayings "Snakes and Snails and Puppy Dog's tails, that's what little boys are made of", and other sayings.

It was made to drag around the neighborhood, have a picnic on, take on vacation to anywhere in the world. Bess is giving the ok on it. She has to either sit down, lay down or curl up on each and every quilt I have ever made since we got her at 7 weeks old. If she is comfortable on it, it goes in the washer and dryer for the giving. If not --- I don't know yet, she lays on every single one. She even lays on the blocks when I lay them out on the floor!!!!!

That's my avatar! Edie

PS - I just finished another quilt for Cameron's new baby sister, who is going to be born in May! Same thing, Bess ok'd it!

my son picked three fabics for his wedding quilt. It's an OBW, the pattern wasn't planned, since I could mix the fabrics I did. His wife picked one fabric for hers (they couldn't decide on material together.... and asked if I would make two smaller quilts) I love OBW's. Then I did a twisted turning twenty for my sister's wedding this summer. The beige/sage quilt ended up being one I donated to charity for a scholarship honoring a passed friend of mine (we made almost $3,000)

OMG everytime I see your quilt I'm so jealous. I love it so much but I know with my limited skill I could never tackle one so beautiful

I've saved a pic of your quilt to show my sister-in-law. She had a palomino years back!

My Avatar is the Tennessee Waltz, I saw it made from "Scraps" at a Quilt shope and could not believe there were no curved piecing, BUT being EVERYTHING I do has to Match, I found a beautiful Line of Moda Fabrics by Terry Clothier and made it, my 4th quilt, Eleanor Burns makes her patterns so easy to follow and I had custom quilting done so this baby is for me and nobody else.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I made this little wall hanging several years ago. It was one of my first quilts and my first attempt at applique.

Mine is a round bargello made with a 10 degree ruler. My daughter saw a similar one at a fair and said that was what she wanted. It has about 16 different fabrics in graduating colors of the rainbow. Took longer to pick the fabrics than to make the quilt. It is hand quilted in a large spiral.

I love yours better than the pattern cover!

Mine is Home in The Woods BOM by McKenna Ryan. I have it hanging over my landing (open staircase) in Wisconsin. It is even more striking in person. The fly that is at the end of the fishing line was made by my niece and expert fly fisherman. Would like to do another one. McKenna Ryan has several patterns.

thank you Drew! Someday Id like to do another, but not quite yet........ I have another challenge Im working on now called Amazon Star (Judy Neimeyer)

Beautiful !!

Mine is a quilt I made for my daughter (her specifications- of course) when she and (now) hubby bought their house for their spare bedroom. It was the first time I got it perfect ! (I couldn't have given it to her any other way !) - It's queen size

mine is one that my grand daughter inspired. I made it for her, and used most of her favorite colors. It is my own design, and she loved it.

Mine is called variations of a star and it was the first quilt class I participated in, it is not really quilted like it should be but my daughter has it right now, so maybe after I finish my two quilt tops I'll get it back and try to quilt it proper.

How warm and heartfelt is your reason, beautiful !!

Mine is a kit for a baby quilt I bought in Texas two years ago. Had to make four star blocks for the corners.

Mine is a reproduction of an 1830 quilt in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln collection. I saw a photograph of the quilt online and emailed for permission to recreate. They told me I could reproduce the quilt and I spent about a month drafting the pattern. The Kokopellis were embroidered by machine. The second photo is the one from the UN-L website.

I saw it on HGTV (about 15 years ago!), downloaded instructions from the Internet. It was my first full-size quilt (had made baby quilts for my grandkids before). Took me forever, but I still love it!

Mine is from the Farmers Wife Sampler book that I'm doing in a group at one of the LQSs. It is called Buckwheat in the book, but there may be other names for it as well.

This was my first quilt made for my oldest daughter. It took me a year while taking a class, I felt I put so much love in it just for her. The back has 10 different size cranberry hearts(same as border) appliqued randomly on a printed fabric taken from the front. Pattern "Heather Heart" came from a magazine I bought.

Mine is McCalls "Covering America" made for my son's wedding 7/7/07. I spent years collecting red, white and blue fabric for this project all MADE IN THE USA. I call it "Covering America in Fabrics of Extinction". Yes, even the thread was on wooden spools made you know where.
