Fantastic quilting on this beauty! Love it!

Oh my but it is one of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. The quilting brings the quilt to life. Wonderful and excellent job!!!!!

gorgeous! love the colors!

That is beautiful. And so much meaning behind it. I am humbled by your work

What an exquisite piece of art. I think you have captured the spirit of what this place means to you beautifully. The colours and textures are superb....I think reading your words and seeing this beauty took us to Tucson...just what art is supposed to do! I would also like to mention the back....I mean...bit of an understatement "all of the left over bits and pieces went into the backing" yeah...right...to me the back evokes the same place, but in a really contemporary way...almost like a desert city scape....not just bits and pieces:).

oh that warm colours and the outstanding quilting!!!!
great!!!!

That is just fantastic and quite soulful. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Beautiful quilt and quilting.

I love your desert quilt. And your quilting has really enhanced the lines of each piece. Beautiful

Absolutely *outstanding* I love it all, but your quilting is stunning. You should enter this quilt into a quilt show, It would surely take the blue ribbon prize. :thumbup:

Holy Wow.....I love it and the quilting is amazing...great job.

Beautiful quilt!!

your quilt is wonderful. Isn't it amazing how Tucson holds your heart. I lived there and miss is incredibly.

I'm joining in with the group, absolutely stunning! I've spent quite a bit of time in Phoenix & this epics it very well. I love the background fill around the star, it's so much different than any I've seen & fits this quilt just perfectly! Great job!! I also think it should go to show, ribbons will abound for this one!

Beautiful and I love your color choice.

Fabulous!!!!

It is absolutely gorgeous! You did an awesome job!

Wow that is gorgeous. I love the quilting too. My closest friend lives in Arizona.

Your quilt is gorgeous and the story behind it as well. I love to hear the stories behind the quilts, because each quilt truly tells a story.

Oh, so beautiful. I can't say more than anyone has said before me...I'm still ooohhhing over it. Just gorgeous!!! Earthwalker says it so eloquently ... truly a piece of art. Thank you SO much for sharing.:)

Absolutely stunning quilt!

Ditto on this comment. It feels like it was quilted with a lot of love.

Like all the others, I was blown away by your quilt. You can tell you put a lot of time thinking through the design, using appropriate desert colors, etc. Your piecing is phenomenal as is your quilting. My, oh my, what gorgeous quilting. Definitely a show stopper. Please let us know if you enter it.
