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.

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.
