I think your quilt is beautiful, it isn't my "style" but I love it. I have a friend who coddles his koi, thinks of them as his pets, he would love your quilt.

If that doesn't take a ribbon or more than One ribbon, I'd be VERY surprised. Excellent work!

You did a stupendous job. There is a lot of work and attention to detail, that I am sure the pictures don't do it justice. I know you will do well at the shows. It is gorgeous.

Please keep us posted on your koi project. I searched high and low for every aspect of this quilt. Brian, the ex-bil, was involved every step of the way. He even pushed for the state fair entry. He said "as many people as possible need to see this quilt." We are hoping it does well.

ssnare 06-26-2013 04:11 PM

Wow, what a fantastic job!

debcavan 06-26-2013 04:18 PM

Tremendous undertaking is a good way saying the approximately 360 hours put into this quilt. I really enjoyed working on the fish and the dragonflies. I tend to like the intricate work and the challenge it brings to make it work in my favor.

I was hoping to enter the quilt into some sort of quilt show (other than the fairs) but come August 19, it will be proudly displayed on BIL's bed. He is designing his room around this quilt.
