Thats great .

Thank you so much everyone! This BOM pattern is still available- It is done by Cheryl Wall. She just published a book- I love her stuff. She is in Canada- funny story- I once ordered a pattern from her over the phone because I was so excited to have found it- "The Home is The Best Place to Be" I was getting that for my little brother that just retired from the Air Force and moved back to NY. Anyway, I was thinking Canada- like Ontario- right over the lake from us....I was coffeed up at 10am so I called her to order- low and behold she is in British Columbia, Canada- it was only 7am there- I woke her up. But she didn't mind, she took my order, and was so nice about it! Sorry for the long winded response.LOL.....anyway check out her website at www. countryquilts.ca

Ditto and it is hanging in just the right spot.

That is really beautiful. I have always liked the traditional house block, but I LOVE yours!

It is Beautiful and I love the colors. Thanks for mentioning how you felt alittle afraid of cutting into the fabrics. I think that is a fear alot of us have, especially new quilters.
Hang it where you want it! Hopefully you get to see it daily and after all aren't you the most important person who needs to see it :wink:

kathy6696 04-26-2011 02:06 PM

It turned out stunning and look great were it's hanging. I sure wish I had a place like that to hang my quilts, even a solid wall would do??

Pieceful Quilter 04-26-2011 06:31 PM

Oh, I really love that! The colors are beautiful. I especially love the bright blue because I wouldn't have the nerve or imagination to choose it. It just brings the piece to life.

Another expert to look up to...

Fantastic quilt and a great way to show it off in your stairway.

Love it.. :thumbup:

Oh this is lovely. Put it where YOU want it, though I can see her point, she wants you to show it off because it is beautiful.
