I hang mine with pant or skirt hangers from a rack.

I want to do the one that looks like stained glass but it's all in the way you cut the print--the flowered one on black. The flowers are printed so that there's a black diamond shape around them. When you cut them you cut so that the black shows on the top of the diamond. It's a beautiful quilt and was in some magazine a couple of years ago. I have the pattern and the fabric, the only thing I'm lacking is the nerve---I've never pieced diamonds. Hey Eddie---tutorial please.

I'm working on my 2nd quilt which is the tumbling blocks so diamonds don't seem to be a problem for me. I want to do mine in the "traditional" rainbow pattern.

I'll get the nerve and conquer it some day.

I would love to develop the skills and make a quilt from a photo of a person or a beautiful scene in nature or something architechural. Those are the quilts that take my breath away and fill me with envy.

I am working on "Dunsters" quilt, the Log Cabin Diamond Star (stunning!). I have several blocks in the works, and am taking my time, which is my challenge to work with diamonds and eventually setting triangles.

My next challenge is to learn how to paper-piece, so I can make quilts with Mariner's compass blocks and some spectacular star point blocks, which I absolutely love.

Bargellos are also on the list. I love the twisted shapes that intertwine.

I'm loving this thread. I read other people's post and think "Oh yeah, I want to do that one too, and that one, and that one, oh and I forgot I want to do that one." I'll have to live to be 143 to get them all done.

My dream is to finish the Sharon Stone NY Beauty that I started in '04. I finished 1 block and got sidestracked! It's the 1st quilt that I put aside and stopped working on. One of the reasons was that I broke my wrist and HAD to stop. Another is that I was working on it in AZ, and by the time the wrist healed, I was back in CT. Now it seems to be on permanent hold! I can see it hanging on a wall here in Tucson, so I'd better make it my AZ goal next year!
