FWS is on my bucket list. Your's is a pure treasure and I see a big ol' ribbon on it so it looks like it placed well in a show and surely deserved it too! I love all the quilting motifs you chose, especially that border motif. Is that a stencil? I would love to have that design in my arsenal.
The funny thing was that I really wasn't in love with the quilt, til I saw it hanging full out, and at a distance in that outside shot. Then all of a sudden I went, WOW!!! The 2nd WOW came when I got the Grand. Not just for the placing ... but again, when I saw it hanging on its own. I then realized it was NOT a quilt to be seen on a bed, but needed to be hanging to be appreciated.
No Way Jose Anael!!!!!!!!!! I'll have enough to do with DJ .... besides, I have seldom re-made a quilt. I get too bored!
OKSGlad ... are you meaning FWS vs. PC? I love them both, but I'd give the FWS the edge, as I think it came together far nicer and not as choppy looking. Plus, ironically, I enjoyed doing the 6" blocks more. The 8" just seemed too big and clumsy after working with the 6" ... and the 12" MBs are horrid!! So maybe DJ won't seem so bad? Wait til you hear me boo-hooing about it this winter!!!
