Just love, love, love it!
Now, what's your addy again? Maybe I'll pop in for a visit...hmmm.....lol

Very very nice. Great job.

Amazing quilt, Janstar!! You did a beautiful job on it!! :D :D

Well, not only did you rise to the challenge, you climbed that mountain and planted a huge flag on the very top!! Beautiful quilt. That black/gray chain really sets off the whole thing.

Turned out beautiful, you did a wonderful job and hubby is one heck of a supporter. He knew you could do it!! Good for both of you.

:shock: Well for goodness sake!!!! That is so beautiful you should enter it into a quilt show. Great job on it, that was one trying setting ... You go girl! It reminds me of day and night for some reason, that is what came to mind when I saw it.

Great job! The black and gray really make the borders pop out. I love it!

OOOH LA LA!

I love it. That is simply a beautifully colored quilt; the pattern is fantastic.

WOWSER!!!!

That's a keeper for sure!
It is amazing and the contrast between the black and gray
and other colors is just stunning!

That is wonderful. You did an awesome job. I can't even begin to imagine working with all those little squares.

Love it

Wow, Wow, and Wow!!! It's gorgeous! Yeah, I say make him take you out to dinner, too. A Very nice dinner!!!!

Janstar, that is a beautiful quilt. I really enjoyed meeting you and your husband at Sisters. I also have that book but haven't started making anything from it yet. I saw Susan Dissmore at Puyallup Sewing and Stitchery Expo in 2007, and I was blown away by her beautiful quilts, most of them from that book. It just seems like making a sampler takes so much longer, but obviously it is worth it.

Wowzers Jan that is a stunner! I love the black and grey - gives a real smoky effect to the whole thing - hubby owes you BIG TIME!!! :D

Wow de Wow! What a great job you did. I absolutely love it. I can't beleive you had the patience to do all those tiny blocks.

What a beautiful fantastic quilt. Good job.

This is soooo beautiful!

Wow!
Where was this when someone was asking for "manly colors?" The black and grey chains offset the other colors in a wonderful, masculine way!
Mind you, it is equally feminine!
Beautiful job! I've never seen an arrangement quite like this!

It's a beauty. You are right, he better take VERY good care of it!!! :)

I love it very excellent :D

Very nice!

That's really nice. Love how it goes out into the border!

That's beautiful!

I have to say that I think your husband picked well. He knew you could do it and you did!! He is going to be loving this quilt for a VERY long time!!!

Simply spectacular!!!!!!!

Wow I love the quilt. The colors are just great. I would like to do that pattern.

Stunning quilt. I love the colors you chose for the chain; it really pops. I also love that the chain extends into the border. It is an amazing quilt...

what a stunning quilt.....thanks for sharing....:-)

I'm glad this popped up again.. I love this baby!! :D

How many different blocks are in it? Are some the same pattern, but different colors?

What's the one with purple in the close-up called? It looks like a sun. :D

Love that diagonal design, Janstar! Your hubby got himself, one sharp looking quilt there! :D

Hi Karla,
There are 12 different blocks. That setting called for 18 blocks so 6 are doubles and yes in different colors. That block is called the Christmas Star. It was assembled much different than I've ever done before. Everything is a 9 1/2" block. Someone, the book author, of course, really worked on this pattern. If you follow her every direction it turns out just fine. Thanks for your interest.

That is really cool looking, I love the pattern and the colors. I think I would have been a bit batty after finishing that one.

very pretty

Beautiful quilt.

wowee! my eyes are still buggy. Bet you had to stand back often and take a gander at the colors and such to be sure you were right on. Just wonderful.

That is very pretty. I love hope the "x"'s pop out. Well worth the effort.

yes, I love that too...so what did he say? You sure showed him, didn't you? :wink:
Susan Teegarden Dissmore does great quilt patterns!
I guess someone brought this thread back up, but it's a great quilt, Janstar! :D
Did you go out for dinner? :D

Beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! Your husband sure better take care of it!!LOL

bee-utiful!
