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

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.

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.
