Tell me about your quilt in your avatar

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 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.

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.

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.
