Stunning quilts. Really like the robing Peter to pay Paul, like the variation. Never seen it done that way. Peace, Robert.

You were born a natural quilter. Beautiful quilts and hand quilting!

These are beautiful and look more like an advanced quilters work. I live not far from you and would like to know where you buy your fabric. The only places I've found are Hancock's and Wal-mart in Texarkana. Enjoyed seeing your work.

I had to take out her stitches because of her eyesight but I learned a lot from her. No, I didn't start out a pro. But, I had such a good teacher that I did a heck of a lot of ripping until I got it right. Sewing by hand, makes things go together so much easier, in my opinion. Thanks for the compliments.

OK, my friend, I was going to ask you how you mustered up the courage to tackle such difficult patterns instead of sticking to the squares and triangles that I am still sticking to today. But I see now that it was "inspiration" that got you going. Congratulations!

Wow, you did well for a beginner with challenging patterns. Lots of quilters start with something much easier
