Your piecing accuracy is to be envied. It's hard to believe you are brand new at this. I think you have found your talent. Thanks for sharing.

They are all so beautiful. I personally like the second picture to emulate the log cabin style with the bright colors. And the third one with the bears. Gotta love the bears.

Thanks Jean - I have to say piecing LARGE pieces is incredibly easier than small ones lol. I think there's more fudge factor on the bigger pieces. I'm working on a quilt now (#5) with very small blocks and i had the opportunity to rip some rows out and take things apart to restitch - seems my cutting and my seam width may've been 'off' a little here and there lol. I'm thinking I'll have it finished over the weekend then off to be quilted. I'll try to post pics of it after i get the binding on. It was a learning opportunity for me

Part of my philosophy when I started this was i was only going to make quilt patterns that caught my eye and 'spoke' to me. I let that slide a little on the 3rd quilt because I made it for the fabric not the pattern, but the fabric was for a very special friend.

I've always been one to take the task/opportunity/challenge head on and have never believed there was anything I "couldn't" do - only some things I didn't "want" to do.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and compliments.
