I was so worried when I finally put my quilts out there (because it is kinda like putting yourself out there) and thought "what if people don't comment or have much to say". Boy was I wrong. What a positive experience this has been and a confirmation that quilters are the kindest, most giving and supporting group of people there can be!
I really don't know how long each quilt took. I've been quilting for five years, and have made the eight or nine quilts posted in that time frame. There is waste of fabric in paper piecing, but Judy Neimeyer patterns now has templates or measurements to cut your fabrics for specific pieces, lessening the amount of waste (I've kept all scraps over 2" to use in a crazy or mosaic type quilt.
Hugs, Sheree

Love the batiks! I am finishing a batik quilt this week and will post after. Great work...I see lots of different techniques in there.
