I think it would be fun to do a swap where we reverse this and make a quilt that reflects our partner's location... such as if I were making a quilt for a partner in New York, I might put a big apple, or if my partner was from Maine, a lobster quilt. It would be fun to see others' interpretations of where we live.

Yes it was paper pieced from quilterscache- called Maryland Star. I love how it turned out- but not a fan of PP, had to redo several times before I got the hang of it.
Fun to see two Maryland quilts back to back!
This is really a fun theme and all of the quilts have been SEW creative and amazing!

Oh gosh, I love that idea too MistyMarie. Maybe this could be a theme for a month later this year

vbourck, I just love your Maryland Star block. I have thought of doing one but sooooooo many pieces to PP. You did a wonderful job on it.
Gladie, I had fun doing the applique` work. I also atempted my hand at hand quilting around the applique.
Roda, I am happy you liked my reflection of Maryland. I tried to put the things that come first to mind living in Maryland... blue crabs, orioles and blackeyed susans!
LOL Roda, I have powers of determination but not for sending snow your way!
