Patrice...the quilt is stunning. Great work. I wouldn't mind being one of the three recipients of this beautiful quilt.

That looks so BEAUTIFUL.. Great work!

It's lovely! The use of that lightest print gives it an awesome texture.

Awesome!!! It is in my favorite color. Lovely good choice and it really stands out.

Wow. I just started my DIC and it's nothing like yours. I only have 3 colors. You sure have done a lot of work on that and I like your colors better. NICE!

Patrice, WOW, that is beautiful! Love the quilting. Great job!

many thanks to you (and all) for the compliments

3 colors + 1 background = triple irish chain, so give yourself a little more credit. :P

having seen your work, i already KNOW yours is going to be gorgeous. the quilt in your avatar stands well above anything i've made so far.

i don't have a "thumbs up" emoticon, or there would be about a dozen of them right here. :wink:

I agree! That light square around the edges of the white in the center really softens the look. What a beautiful quilt. Think I would keep it rather than section it off. What a shame. Did you hand or machine quilt the center blocks? Great job either way.

i am actually quite happy to use the blocks to make three over-sized laps instead of one bigger-than-california king. for one thing ... way easier to sandwich and quilt. also, i can now play around with the arrangement; experiment with different borders; the quilts will coordinate, but no two will be exactly alike.

i dont' know yet what i'll do to #2 and #3, but this one will be finished with a combination of machine quilting (the centers), hand quilting (diagonals around the centers), and the back-stitch tie method to secure the chains.

i still can't freemotion worth a plugged nickel so i pre-quilted the centers before i assembled the blocks.
