Wowser! These are fabulous. Love everything about them. Am in agreement with others. My laundry room would not support such beauty.

FWIW, I think the colored backgrounds are absolutely lovely!

Love your fire island hosta. Those are colors I love!

All three are beautiful! I love the background of the wedding star ones. Is the dusty pink wall the laundry room wall color? I think they go great with that. I agree with the others that I would not put them in a laundry room. Perhaps you spend a lot of time in there folding laundry and ironing and you want something to make you happy when you are in there?

Niemeyer gives excellent directions for curved piecing. Using pins and glue it is not that hard to sew curves, it is time consuming but not difficult.


They are both beautiful. I consider myself a fairly advanced quilter but how difficult are these to make?
I like a challenge. Six years ago I had never used a sewing machine or knew anyone that quilted. I have never taken a class and am completely self taught. I work full-time so I have not completed that many quilts. If you just follow the pattern step by step these quilts are not that hard.

Thanks for all the nice comments.
