They are both gorgeous!

Great quilts!! And you know that your kid's quilt will be blessed with lots of comfort to some child. By the way, I am going to LasVegas tomorrow for business, but will have a short bit of time for fun. Does anyone know of any quilt spots that I should see?

I love both; they are beautiful. The quilting of the dresses is wonderful. I am a big fan of black & white, especially with a splash of yellow or red.

Good for you! The wilder the better I say. Kudos! Moosegirl

That B&W New York Beauty REALLY makes me want to try Paper Piecing...I might just have to bite the bullet....

Both are absolutely gorgeous!

Oh my! Both are gorgeous!

the black and yellow quilt is spectacular (sp) :thumbup:

I really like the dress wallhanging

love the dresses one - very nice

What is the name of the pattern? What book did you get it from? I have a black and white challenge for my guild and this would be a perfect thing to do. Thanks, it is beautiful. Pumpkin

Wow, those are both great. Love the little dresses

Are you talking about the NY Beauty? It's from Karen Stone's book, which is out of print and not so easy to find. It's called New York Beauty (that's the title of the book). It's a paperback sort of quilting book. Actually, I just looked it up online and here's link to her website, or at least one that has her books. It's the last one, and is $18. Has all the patterns that you just copy onto whatever paper piecing paper you want to use (I like velum).

Have fun, and be sure to post a picutre

And thanks everyone for saying such nice things. I'm actually, for once, really happy with them. I really hated the black/white while it was in process, and the only thing that kept me working on it was I trusted my teacher (she told me it would be worth it in the end), and my dear sweet MIL had commented when it was at the early stages that she really loved it. So, I knew it would be for her, despite my dislike for it. Well, I changed my mind when it was done. I will say I'm not likely to try to make another b/w again for some time!

Those are awesome :mrgreen: I like the way you backed the B/W one... I wasn't expecting that , but love the way the color just pops :lol:

Wow, both are just beautiful. You did a great job on them!

Where did you get that pattern for the dress quilt?????
Would you mind sharing the pattern????
Thanxs

I didn't read the whole thread so I may have missed this part but did you do the quilting yourself, it is so beautiful.. The quilts are great also.

Those are beautiful! The fabrics and colors are awesome... Ah! So jealous of the talent...

It was from a class I took. I believe the pattern was taken from a book, and it's not one of those that's for sale, so I think it would be okay to copy it and mail it to you. If anyone has any other opinions on this, speak out. If you pm me, I'd be glad to copy it and mail it to you. Unless it's wrong, and I'm sure I'll hear pretty quickly if anyone thinks so!

I just love your black and whilte quilt.

you posted on 11-25-09 and here it is the 9th of dec. How did I live this long without seeing these scrumptious creations? :wink:
I love the colors in your MIL's gift, but the dresses...ahh!!!
I absolutely love that! Your right, the quilting is delish, too!
