Noel Solitaire, aka Christmas Cards
 

Here is my newest, most beautiful member of the Solitaire family (this is the third and most likely, final offspring of my card tricks quilts using border prints). I just love it. This was professionally quilted by a wonderfully talented lady here in New Hampshire, who declared, on my voicemail, upon completion of the quilting, that, she had "taken picture after picture after picture, and this is the prettiest quilt I have quilted all year. Your masterpiece is ready to be picked up, and if I didn't know how eager you were to get this back, I would have held onto it for a few more days just to show it to everybody!" she said.

There is no commercial pattern for this quilt. There is no kit.
I'll make it a point to say that again. There is no pattern for this quilt. The fabrics were deliberated upon, purchased, collected, auditioned, and petted for a time period that ranges from 4 years to 2 days before being made into blocks.

Sending my warmest regards to all my friends and buddies here on the QB!

Absolutely beautiful! Love your design!

Wow! You have definitely mastered the card trick block!

Beautiful things come to those who wait (and audition!)!!! It is a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful quilt.

Very original- so great to see something fresh and new!

Your quilt is just beautiful! Thanks so much for sharing the picture with us.

Beautiful !!! I have never seen this pattern done in blocks all over the quilt. Very different and great fabrics.
Congrats, Kutnso

Sew pretty. I love that attention to detail that is so apparent in your fabric choices as well as your piecing.

I think your LAQ was very accurate in her description. The quilt is "out of this world"--beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!

You have shown me that there is another way to use border prints. They intimidate me. Your work is spectacular! I agree with your quilter. Fabulous quilt!

Oh, wow! Your use of fabric is absolutely fantastic. Wish I could look at stripes and see such wonderful blocks. I look at them and think, "they're probably not printed straight and would be a nightmare to use" and put them back. Your insight is amazing!

Amazing. A beautiful quilt

Beautifully done!

I agree it is stunning

Stunning and beautiful.

Two words for you WOW and Beautiful!

This needs to be placed in a quilt show..it surely would bring home a ribbon. Your selection of fabric well thought out.

I never cared for the card trick block as a whole quilt. But yours done with the striped fabric adds a whole new dimension! My bucket list is long, but it now contains a card trick quilt made with stripes. Fantastic quilt.

This is the most fascinating card tricks quilt I have ever seen. Using stripes made it so great.

A classic, elegant design and fabrics. Absolutely stunning!

Wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww wwwwwwww!

All I can say is Wow!

oh wow i love this quilt

WOW what a fabulous use of Stripes!! Just great!!! Now you will have me pulling all of my stripes out of my stash to see if I can do something similiar. Thanks for posting this beauty!

Oh my......that is one awesome quilt. I love the fabrics, pattern.......OK everything about it. Great job and thanks for sharing.

Ohhh, it is pretty. Very, very pretty. Gorgeous in fact. I love the card trick block and especially yours. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. One of the most amazing quilts I have ever seen. I've been saying "Oh my gosh" for about 3 minutes here!

Oh my gosh is that something else! I love this.

Your points are perfect with those stripes that's amazing. Great work!
