I have to say this is my favorite quilt. I'm not giviing this one away. It was too much work. I got a good deal on the custom quilting so a great thanks goes out to Linda at Flying Heart Quilt Works in Bennett, Colorado. Hope you like this one too.

It's gorgeous!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Thanks Minda. Very nice of you to say so.

It is beautiful! I would want to keep it, too!!! :D

I would keep it too, its lovely

It is gorgeous! No way I would let go of it either!!!!!!! :D :D :D

That is AWESOME. I'm assuming you received a piece of the pattern at each shop you hopped to. Can the pattern be purchased too?

Oh my--that is amazing. Definitely a keeper!! I'd love to see more photos of it--more of the whole quilt and some squares. :D

We did get a piece of the pattern at each of 10 shops. Had to blow a lot ot the pieces up. We could have bought the fabric too which I chose not to do but next time I think I will buy it. Our next hop is August 1-3. Since I'm no longer in classes I either have to go alone or take the bus for $70. It will take 2 days to hit all the shops either way.

Thanks to all of you for your kind comments. Don't know what I'm gonna make next time but may be a baby or wedding quilt for my neice. I'd like to try the wedding ring or the dresden plate soon.

You certainly do beautiful work, that is great, never saw one quite like it I like the colors you used :D

Here are a few more pics you asked for. I love the sun in the quilt. That's how I'd like to live my life. Just follow the sun...ha ha

Opp's I have some crocked tree tops. Just like Colorado...

That is absolutely stunning, no wonder you are keeping it :D :D , but if you ever get fed up with it .......PM me for my addy

Thank you so much for the extra photos. What a treat!! It's just amazing. It'd be a great wall hanging too. :wink:

Doubt that will happen but I'll keep you in mind. I see you live in Spain. I just got back Tuesday night from 2 weeks in Grimsby, England. I had a great time getting back together with my best friend.

I'd like to do that but I just don't have the room to. The finished size is 68 X 81. Don't really want it on my bed because my husband's cats sleep all over it. I have to cover my bed with a sheet every day to keep off the fur. I'll have to figure out some where to put it though/

Almost all of the fabric is batik. Got to be expensive but I new it was gonna be worth it. It has solid navy blue on the back.

WOW!! Its beautiful!! Deffinately a KEEPER!!!

Thanks Melissa!!

It is so pretty :!: You did a great job :thumbup: I love the way you put so much detail into it, like the doors of the (barn?) opening out :!: :!: REally nice job. I'd keep it too :!:

fantastic

Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow! That is stunning! You did a great job.

I have come back and looked at your quilt several times, I find more that I missed each time, thank you for posting more pictures, the quilting is wonderful on it too! :D :D :D

It is gorgeous! I'd have a hard time giving it away, too!

I hope you'll find the perfect spot for it soon.

Its Awesome..... :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's pretty!

That is stunning! I wouldn't give that one away either.

Prettiest I've seen in a long time = love the details!

What a remarkable quilt! I'd give this one a place of honor on the wall! Beautiful colors. I love the moose!

Absolutely gorgeous! Make more!

I am speechless or printless-whichever is the correct term for this site. I love it we used to have evergreens with crooked tops. It is breathtaking

I am getting speedhless too with all the great replies I've had today on this quilt. Yoiu are all so great to let me know. I still have the pattern. I had the big pieces copied and laminated so I wouldn't lose them or screw them up just in case I did one in the future. Those leaves were supposed to be Aspen leaves but they were so small and looked so silly that I changed that in a hurry. :D

You can't see it in the picture but there is an outline of an elk stiched in behide the deer. Linda did such a great job qilting and decided I needed an elk.

Hope you all have a great week!

gorgeous and so colorful..makes you smile everytime you see it!

Absolutely love it! :)

AWESOME quilt!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

HiConnie, Well I hope you had some decent weather over there in Grimsby when you visited because its raining cats and dogs over there now. Glad you had such a nice time with your friends though, there is such a lot to see, different culture and way of life heh :D See any quilting shops :D :D

Thansk so much for all the good replies on my quilt.

I did go to two shops. One in Lincoln where we left my friends machine for some work and the best one was in Gimsby. Some beautiful fabrics there. I guess they consider them Pakistani fabrics. They are pretty flashy but I did love them. He had a Janome Serger in the window. Someone bought it and decided she wanted something else so brought it back with the original thread still in it. I bought it for 99 pounds and packed it up good in my suitcase and brought it home. Now I'm waiting on a dropper cord I ordered so I can plug it in to 110V. Don't want to blow myself up. :lol:

I loved all the trees and the fields of rape seed. I bouoght some honey mixed with rape seed oil that is good for asthma but put it in my carry one and customs got a great jar of it. Hope my friend send me a jar to try.
The houses with the vines and purple flowers hanging on them were great. I can't remember the names of that right now (too early) but they are so pretty. Wish I'd gotten pics of some of those houses.

Have a great night. Guess it's night where you are.

Thanks Henry!!

What a beautiful job, clearly worth all your time and efforts!
