Challenging myself.
2 Attachment(s)
I love quilts as much as the next quilter and I buy as many books. So my 2014 challenge to myself is to start making at least 1 quilt from each book that I have not used. And if possible not buy any fabric in the process. Here are my first 2 quilts. This is harder than I thought.

Oh, WOW!!!!! That leopard quilt is beyond stunning!
|
great job they are great!!!
|
wow those are great.
|
I love the first one like crazy. The second one, I cannot imagine how difficult it was to make. You are an excellent quilter. Congratulations.
|
They are beautiful! I know exactly what you are saying about having all those books and not doing anything out of them. I cancelled all of my subscriptions because it appears I just hoard books.. I love your quilts..
|
Fabulous quilts. The leopard quilt is awesome.
|
You are on to a good thing. These quilts are fantastic. I am sure it is very satisfying to make a deal with yourself and stick to it. Keep up the good work.
|
Oh wow! Those quilts are absolutely stunning! Congratulations! Absolutely admire your beautiful creations. :):thumbup:
|
both are great... really love the leopard
|
stunning. beautiful work
|
I love the first quilt. It is beautiful! But the second one--oh my! That leopard is amazing. What books did you use?
|
Your first 2 quilts? Amazing, gorgeous and encouraging to keep up with quilting. I love them both. Your are right on with your new challenge to make a quilt from each book that you already own! Bravo.
|
Keep up the good work, both quilting and sticking to your resolution! You've inspired me!!
|
Blow my mind, awesome. WOW. Barb
|
Boy are you off to a great start, these two are great!
|
Your quilts are gorgeous! What a challenge to give yourself. I wasn't buying anymore magazines or books, but then we moved back from Germany 2 weeks ago and I went a little crazy! But I'm stopped again. Just waiting on our stuff to arrive and then I can start challenging myself like you have! Great work!! 👍
|
Fantastic Job on both!

Wow amazing quilts! I think that is a daunting challenge!
|
lovely quilts
|
Great Quilts. And I like your idea with the books. I often think when I receive a quilt magazine I should sew at least one top from that issue…but no I just keep looking at eye candy. I usually make baby quilts for friends and family and mystery quilts.
|
Beautiful! I love them both! It is so hard to not buy fabric. I have given it a try and I almost always have to go buy a blender or neutral. You have chosen a noble challenge! I'm not quite there yet but I have resolved myself to using the Guild books and not buying them. Good Luck on your challenge, be sure to post your progress.
|
Wow! Both are incredible!!
|
Great job! You have used your books and your stash to produce beautiful quilts!
|
Two exceptional quilts! Wonderfully done!
|
I really like them both-great job!!
|
wow! that last one is very special. Great job!
|
Oh my goodness, Child those are gorgeous!!! I love them both!Keep up the good work.
|
Some challenge! The results are even better, those two quilts are WOW!
|
Your quilts are fabulous! You go girl! Do you plan to sell them?
|
What a great idea!! Beautiful quilts!
|
Your quilts are beautiful. You are very talented. Thank you for sharing these with us.
|
OH MY!! I am so impressed....You Definitely should show that leopard one! It should go to Houston! I was very impressed with the first one and then saw #2....can't wait to see more!
|
Stunning!!!!!!!!!!!
|
I love your challenge - keep with it!
Your quilts are gorgeous:) |
Wow, so impressive. And the leopard, wow, wow.....
|
Holy cow, these are great.
|
These are outstanding. What a great self challenge. I thought it would be a good idea to make myself finish some of the ones I have started and post pictures here. I'm not doing so well with that, so I've decided to start purging all those books (and rulers and fabric) that I am sure I will never get to.
|
your quilts are beautiful, you are truly talented. That first pattern looks very hard, and the second one is my favorite. Always wanted to go to africa, but I am to old now to make it. Keep up the good work and so far your rewords are wonderful.Josie
