Love it, Love it, Love it. The colors are just wonderful, the blue sashing or trim is perfect.

quiltingfan 05-04-2011 05:28 AM

Your quilt is beautiful!! The colors make it a perfect bright and happy piece.......love it :-D

quiltaroni 05-04-2011 05:53 AM

I would just call it beautiful and be done with it, because that is what it deserves.

madamheather 05-04-2011 06:01 AM

Very beautiful. Love your colors. Sounds like a light-weight quilt to me.

Cris 05-04-2011 06:23 AM

Your quilt is beautiful, don't listen to the nay sayers! Love the colors too!

baskets4daze 05-04-2011 06:24 AM

I consider it BEAUTIFUL!! :-D

Thanks so much to all of you for all of your great comments! What I meant by "some don't consider it a quilt" is just that some people don't consider it a quilt if it doesn't have the batting and all the fancy long arm stitching. No offense intended to anyone, I think that those type quilts are beautiful too. I did work very hard on this piece, all I have is a regular Kenmore sewing machine that is 40+ yrs old, a card table with my alto quiltcut2 on it, and limited space to work, so it is difficult to work on a piece this size, it measures 75" x 100". Not going to tackle another one this size for a long long time! Love doing throws, couch-size blankets, and baby quilts!

Whoooa! Don't let those people play mind games on you. They know diddly!!!!!!!

Look at the heritage quilts ..... no long arm stitching and filled with whatever they had available, used or new.

You have one precious and beautiful quilt!
ENJOY it !!!!!
.... and put your brain on IGNORE for those who are quilt ignorant!

Love your comments, I certainly agree!

I think it is simply stunning. There are no quilt police so who cares if it doesn't conform to the traditional quilting methods!! It is beautiful! I have always wanted to make a dresden plate quilt. I just bought the template for it this week. After the 30 other projects I have left to do this one is next!!

chairjogger 05-04-2011 07:38 AM

your choice of boarder fabrics, separation strips between blocks.. love it all the way around ! Congratulations !!

mamabear229 05-04-2011 07:40 AM

If it's not a quilt what is it? Of course it's a quilt, and it is DEFINITELY colorful and beautifully crafted and something to be treasured. She will love it.
