Cathy's Turning Twenty quilt
 

I think some of you know that I teach Patchwork, it's at a local village hall and we started it in September 2011. Cathy has been there from the beginning and was a complete newby, in fact I can remember her excitement when she made a first coaster for Xmas presents :)

Well these pictures are an example of her progress. She borrowed from me last week my copy of the Turning Twenties pattern, and in just once week look what she put together. I am in awe, she chose and bought the beautiful leaf fabrics from Carol of Fabricgalore.com (Thank you Carol she was so thrilled at your little hand written note that was in her order)

She paired off the lovely fabrics with a selection of plain and let her creative juices flow and came up with appliqueing leaves on the plain blocks, and the strips of fabric in the alternative corners on the borders really brings a zing to it. I must add that I think her points are wonderful, just think she has come this far in just 15 months, there is hope for me yet!

I think it is absolutely gorgeous and by far the loveliest TT I have come across, but maybe I am biased ;)

My apologies for the poor picture quality I will get a better one, promise.

Awesome. Glad to welcome a newbie to the group. Great quilt and what terrific ideas she had. Thanks for posting.

nicely done

This is a very pretty Turning Twenty. It is not a design that has ever inspired me to try but this may change my mind.

Your applique patches really make this quilt!

Yes nicely done

Nice job, I think she can graduate up from nubie!

Very pretty. I love the fabrics and the appliques.

A job well done. She is lerning fast.

It's gorgeous..

Fabulous quilt! Great student and great teacher.

I agree - let her now she did a great job and the touch of the applique leaves is a real winner

Beautiful colors, fabrics and a great job on the piecing. I'd say you taught her well!

Wow! That's talent coming through!

Beautiful quilt, love the Fall colors.

It's gorgeous! Love the colors!

Love the quilt. I have been collecting fall leaves fabrics and this has given me an idea of how to use them. Fall is my favorite season.

Lovely quilt!

Great quilt! Love the fall fabrics.

Newbie, you have to be kidding ! That is one spectacular quilt!!! Congrats & keep up the fabulous work.

Love the leaves you added to the focus blocks. Great colors!

Love your color choice...

Wow such a pretty choice of fabrics and design. I love it!

very pretty!!!!!

The appliqued leaves just make this beautiful quilt pop! Nice job

A beautiful quilt, and what nice work! I love the applique. I have a turning twenty cut out, but after cutting it, decided I didn't like the fabrics. Maybe I will put it together and add some applique!

Lovely quilt & the appliques are a wonderful addition. Very inspiring for me to do one too.

I agree with you, the applique really make the pattern attractive which in it's original method is rather plain. I might make another one now :)

Stunning quilt, the colors are perfect!!

what a lovely quilt!
