All quilts are pretty to me and so are all the pictures of quilts here. My avatar is a scrappy Logs in a Basket. I have made some and plan to make lots more. I do like matchy,matchy, but, I'm running out of fabrics for those. DD likes scrappy and usually makes those. We use a white background or off white and just grab a bunch of fabrics and start cutting. Doesn't matter if they match or go together, it will make a beautiful quilt and you will be so proud.

Nativetexan - they DO look like spools. Love it. And kwhite - that's a great 9-patch. Love that as well. Truthfully, I've never met a quilt I didn't love especially the ones shown by our board members.
