I have been wanting to try the Double Wedding Ring but not sure if I am ready for that big of a challenge. I helped my grandma hand quilt hers but I don't know who got it after she passed. So would really like to make one. Love yours.

Not sure about stunning but I love this quilt because it is the first one I ever made that my son actually liked. He even asked for this one. Yoohoo!!!! It is a OBW that I added applique to.

My most stunning and favorite quilt has to be my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler, called Sylvia & Louise. I made it in the year after my mother, Louise, passed away. It was definitely my therapy and got me through that tough time. It's held together with thread and tears and there is love in every stitch. Miss you, Mom!

My quilt I made for a fireworks quilt challenge titled, " Ooooh, An Eight Break Snail Shell", is my best work so far. The pattern is by Pat Wolfe called "Circle of Fire". She created one circle and I made them different sizes and colors. Six are paper pieced and range in size from 8.5" to 19" in diameter pieced. The two smallest are 7.5" & 6" diameter and they are fused. The quilting lines extend out further on all circles to expand each break to a larger area covered by stitching. Each star is made from 8 diamonds. Two pie shaped triangles are sewn to the diamond to form 1/8 of the circle. The dark gray/black background fabric I chose, also had a subtle snail (spiral) print on it in various dark values of gray. I fmq on my domestic machine. I originally was going to make it in sections and then sew it together, but decided partway through to sew the whole top together and then fmq it. I used metallic, polyester and silk threads for quilting. Finished size is 63" X 74". It took me about 6 months to make. I took First Place in the Quilt Challenge and People's Choice for the Art Show at the Pyrotechnic Guild International Convention in 2010.
My picture failed to load. I'll hopefully get one to work soon. |
Fireworkslover that definitely qualifies as stunning. Did you have a pattern or just made up one? I'm a fireworks lover too.
All these quilts are stunning. |

The backing is a very light weight black courdory that already had red embroidered roses on it. That was such a great "find" when I went to the fabric store!! |
Very pretty. I never thought to do a floral log cabin. I'll put that on my list :).

To all who responded about my quilt, Sylvia & Louise, thank you so much for the kind words. Some time has passed and I'm at the point where I think of my mom and only smile. I miss her daily, but time has given me perspective.
Thanks again! |

UBE- You have done a nice job on your quilt. I jotted down the quilt name to do a search. You say it is not difficult?
It has a really pleasing look to it. Congratulations and thanks for posting. |
Very nice Neanie. The colors make it look so crisp and bright and cheerful. Good job and thanks for posting.
|
nhansen-I love a red-white & blue quilt. Yours is so snappy. The dot fabric seems to give it movement along with the white of the log cabin squares.
|
Really nice quilt.
|
Love the way you matched fabric in blocks. Is this the same block as 'card tricks'?

Stunning is right! These quilts are wonderful. Here is one of my favorites - a medallion quilt made for my recently-widowed aunt from Kaffe Fassett fabrics.

This is my most stunning quilt so far... at least in my opinion. I made it for my bed. It took me about 2 months to piece it.
|
Oh Justme,
This is beautiful! I love the varied shades of teal in your stars! |

What a great idea to have people post their most stunning quilts. I haven't seen this many "stunners" together for a long time. Great collection. I couldn't pick a favorite.
