Congrats. Your beautiful quilt deserved first place!

Congratulations! All your hard work really paid off.

Well, I don't know why you're so surprised! WE know how good you are, even if you like to be modest ( :?: :shock: :lol: :lol: :lol: ).

You totally deserve to win it all!!! Good girl. Hugs and more hugs!!

Thanks for your kind words but as this is my own original design and a competition piece, I can't do a tutorial for it. I give some guidelines as to how I did it in the other thread (link in my original post) and would prefer ppl to take this as a jumping off point if they're so inclined and then create their own unique piece of work rather than a direct copy of mine. :-D

Thank you so much everyone. This is the first time I won anything (except for my local village show) and it meant a lot to me. Especially since it was from Hans' (my DH) photo too - like it was a joint effort!

Bravo! It is stunning! :thumbup:

OMG it's gorgeous!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
I'm so happy for you!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

Congrats! What a beautiful quilt, I would love to see it in person. I love to see all the detail up close and personal.

You could hop on a flight to the National Quilt Show at Sandown in June - it's a shortish ride from London Heathrow. :lol: :lol: :lol:

No surprise here. Congratulations!
