Love/Hate this quilt!!!!!!
 

My love/hate relationship with this quilt is that I loved making it, but I did not like the fabric choices in the end. I was very hard to picture the design by block.... it was a lot of guess work. It is a Margret Miller Angle Play pattern of "DESERT STARS"

Also this is my year of "SCRAP QUILTS" I am using up all my scraps.... the 2nd photo is a string quilt "Kolidescope". Working hard and learning as I go. I have only be doing the FMQ'ing for one year. All my work is done on a Janome MC9700. I can only Dream of getting a long arm one day. LOL ENJOY!

Love the scrappy colors and design. Great job on both!

Both are very pretty.

It seems to me you are a fast learner. I see nothing wrong with your quilts. You did a great job quilting them. I still have not mastered quilting my own quilts. I send my bigger ones to LAQ. Keep up your good work!

They're both fabulous! Viva la scraps!

wonderful great job!!!!!:thumbup:

Beautiful :)

I think they are both lovely!

I have been at it for several years and then a few. If I could FMQ as good as you are doing, I would be in hog heaven. Great quilts and quilting.

I like them too! Sometimes we are too hard on ourselves. I made a quilt once that after it was finished, I did not like the colors. But now that I have lived with it a while, it is growing on me. Give it time.

Truly, there is just something that draws me to the 1st quilt. I really like it. The second one is along my usual colorway. Love a great scrappy!

love your quilts and your quilting

Beautiful!!!

Great quilts, love the string quilt.

WOW! They are gorgeous! Nice job! :)

Great quilts and I especially love the 2nd one! Welcome from another Mississippian!

Both are beautiful!:thumbup:

Beautiful quilts, you did a wonderful job on both!

I think they are both beautiful....and your quilting is fantastic. I wish I were as talented.

Friend, you do NOT need a long arm. You did a beautiful job!

love the scrappy, great job

Very pretty quilts. I love the bright colors. I am in the market for a new machine and think I will stick with a Janome. The one I now have is a no frills machine, but is such a good one. Had it for over 10 years and have not had a single problem with it. I just want one with a larger throat so I can squeeze in those quilts a little easier. Do you love yours!

I find that I am often tired of the fabrics in a quilt by the time I finish the quilt. That feeling will go away, you will eventually look at the quilt with fresh eyes and realize how beautiful it is. I am really taken by the string quilt. Those black sashings with the blue cornerstones give such a 3-d look to it. I think it's one of the prettiest string quilts I've seen.

Yes I love my Janome.... it is a workhorse.....
And thank you for all of the encourageing words for each....
This is a great board!

Love the colors in both of your quilts. The bright yellows really stand out in the first quilt. So glad you finished it and shared them both.

I love the string quilt the colors are prefect.

Both are wonderful--congratulations on your quilting.

I think they are both wonderful! Thanks for showing the backs too. :) Love to see the quilting designs from that angle.

Good job on both quilts. I really love your scrappy, especially your use of the black sashing and blue setting squares and border then the black print border. What a great way to tie it all together! wonderful quilt and great quilting also.

both are nice but I love the star

both are great but I really like string quilts.

Gorgeous quilt! Wish I had the skills to 'attempt' something like this.

Beautiful - great job on both!

Both of your quilts are stunning! I can see how the desert stars could give you grief, it doesn't appear to be an easy pattern, but it turned out beautifully. I love string quilts, there is something almost meditative about piecing the blocks. I am working on one now, I have the blocks all put together, now I have to add borders (one of my least favorite parts of quilting, don't know why) Your quilting looks wonderful too!

Double WOW! WOW! I love them both! You make gorgeous quilts! I love your fabric choices! I think you have an eye for color! And lovely quilting too!

Love them and the color combinations. Very cheerful.

Very nice!

i love your choice of fabrics on both quilts

I love both quilts, and the first one is beautiful, colors and design. Your quilting if fabulous, wouldn't guess that you have only been doing machine quilting for a year, WOW!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
