I feel your pain when we collect and don't use. But I have a little problem seeing that this was hard for you to not buy fabric. These quilts are both so pretty. You made 2 very pretty quilts using what you have and you should be proud of both of them.

Just stunning, especially the leopard quilt.

They look like a challenge to make-very nice! Especially love the leopard design. Very striking quilts!

awesome, stunning, beautiful. love that leopard too.

Those are just stunning! And did you also make the DJ in your avatar?

Great looking quilts! You do wonderful work.

I agree the leopard quilt is stunning

wow your quilts are really awesome....love the originality

Wow really love the leopard one.

Oh good for you! What a great idea. Your quilts are gorgeous.

Both of these are AMAZING! Congratulations on such beautiful work!

Wow on both ! !

Those are stunning!!!! Great job.

Wow! Those books must be good - your quilts are terrific!

The first one is really beautiful but the leopard is incredible! You do amazing work.

You're doing a great job! I agree the leopard quilt is amazing!

Your quilts are "knock your socks off" fantastic. I love the tribal feel of the first quilt. The colors are perfect. And the leopard is wonderful. I, too, would like to know what book you used for them, especially the first. Beautiful job!

Your quilts ate wonderful

I just have to ask, how did you do the leopard, it is fantastic! Both quilt are stunning, great talent.

You are very talented. I cannot wait to see your future quilts.

I love them both!

I know I have used this phrase before, but all I can say is.........WOW! Those are beautiful!! I admire your quest! I could not imagine myself living long enough to make a quilt from all of my Mother's and my own quilt books and magazines!! I only hope I can manage to make a significant dent in my fabric stash!!

Your quilts are wonderful!! :thumbup:

A-MAZ-ING!:thumbup:
What a great challenge to yourself. And what fabulous results.

Both are stunning. Keep reading those books.

Those quilts are fantastic! I know what you mean about "collecting" books, and I think you have a great idea. I seem to have a lot of books, too, from which I have not yet made any quilts. I think I just may try to do the same thing, make at least one quilt from each book. That will help me figure out if I really want to keep the book, or not.

I love quilts that I just can't stop looking at - both of yours fit that category. Way beyond creative with colors ... fabulous work! I'd love to see more as your self-challenge progresses.

Delbra, they may have been harder then you thought but your excellence is definitely a testament to your talent. Both are simply gorgeous.:o I would take on your challenge of making one quilt out of each of my books, but there's no need for me to lie. I might start but it would become a UFO. Accomplishing your task, says a lot for your tenacity. Job Well Done.:thumbup::thumbup:

Delbra, sorry to bother you and everyone with a second comment, but I printed your pictures out to take to my quilt group and next months guild meeting. You did such a marvelous job, I wanted those who aren't Quilting Board members to see your beautiful work.:eek::thumbup:

You have given me a challenge to do. I just really like your quilts...Your leopard quilt is so stunning and wonderfully done. It is like looking into a picture, the more you look the more you see. You did a excellent job!!!

Both quilts have the WOW factor but #2 stole my breath! Your quilts are fabulous!

Great challenge. I should do that.

You are very talented. Love your quilts.

Your quilts are beautiful!

They are both stunning. Amazing job!

Oh wow! Both are stunning. You did a beautiful job...

Wow thanks. I did not mean to mislead anyone. I should have said the leopard was a panel. Was rushing I guess. Eleanor Burns, Delectable Mountains Book. for the blocks around him.

The other book is The Patchwork Planner by Birte Hilberg.

Glad you liked them, Thank you

Yes, I finished my avatar last year in time for our Quilt show and received 3rd place ribbon.

You are off to a wonderful start! The leopard is amazing!
