Here is the quilt I call "Leaving California" because I started it in California, and finished it here in my new home state, Florida. It is from McCalls Quilting magazine (cover photo) I think it was October 2001's issue.

The other quilt is a quick 9 patch I made from my purple stash and a gorgeous hydrangea print from the Old Paris line that was out in 2004.

Enjoy.

really nice I love the flower prints remind me of a lilac print I had. I always had an urge to smell it. I'm not a purple person but I love yours. Your really good

BEAUTIFUL................

I agree with Ruth, it does remind me of lilacs. And the pattern is simple, but very effective! I sometimes get carried away with too many pieces and lose the thought. To use one of the new adjectives, it is geeeeorgeeeeous. (I think I got enough es in). :lol:

Those are really nice. You do good work. I like the one with the leafs. The purple one is also nice. I like the idea that is is so simple but your choice of fabric really makes it.

Well, I have to agree. YOu do BEAUTIFUL work! I love them both, but the purple one is my favorite of the two. :D I guess it's because it's spring time. :D
;)

Those are both very pretty. You did an excellent job. My favorite is the leaf quilt. I love Fall...especially Fall colors and this is beautiful...they both are. :thumbup:

Ooooh!

First, glad to see some of your work, and second, I love them.

Like Heather, (live2teach) I love autumn, but I also love the to me, relaxing coziness of the purple.

The colors you used in both quilts are extremely remarkable! They are both beautiminous! (new word for that other topic!) LOL

there both absoulutly beauitful I vote for the purple one of favorite colors

Thank you everyone for the applause!

I am so proud of my quilts, being that I am mostly self taught! It is nice to have fellow quilters to share ideas and pics with.

I hope to someday produce quilts like I have seen from others here. I am terribly intimidated by curves, applique and embroidery.

Thanks again!

Beautiful quilts, love the purple, thats my color. :lol:

They're beautiful. Purple is my favorite colour too :)

Great job!

Oh Wendy! I wish I could quilt like that!! I'm just a rookie!

I love your leaf quilt... gorgeous!

I like the 2nd one too.... my dd's favorite color is violet... she would love that one!

Barb

I wish I could quilt like that too. I pay someone to quilt mine! LOL

It's beautiful!!! (I did mean the whole quilt, not just the quilting.) :lol:

My Aunt Violet would absolutely love the second quilt. She has had a "violet" room in every house she has ever lived in.
Both your quilts are gorgeous!

Quiltmaker:
Both your quilts are gorgeous. I think I have the bear paw pattern you used. Will have to dig out my old magazines and check it out. Definately something I'd like to try after seeing yours. Good job, thanks for sharing.

Both are wonderful. I love the purple one also. Colors go so well together. Kyia

Those are both very nice Wendy!!! I have been collecting leaf patterns for paperpiecing but haven't done anything with them yet!! Thanks for the inspiration!

Just cruising thru older posts, don't feel like sewing today (?) and found your beautiful maple leaf quilt. I've been collecting leaf motif fabrics for 5 years, you have inspired me to start making the blocks.! :-D

Beautiful quilts!

They are both very pretty!!! Great job!!

Ditter

Both are beautiful :thumbup:

WOW! You do wonderful work! I absolutely love the one with the leaves. Keepa goin'.

I love them both. Excellent!!

Gayle, You can. These patterns are not hard to do at all. If you're intimidated by color choices, then just find a picture of a quilt that you really like and use those colors. I still struggle trying to find just the right color combinations but I find a quilt that I really like and use those same colors. Maybe that will help you too.

These quilts are beautiful. My favorite color is purple and I had some of that exact fabric. Good job.

Nice work!

They're both really nice. The top one is my favorite - because the colors are "my" colors. I love purples and blues and greens. Nice work!

I reread what you'd written and I missed the part where you said you're a rookie in regards to quilting. Opps. Disregard what I said earlier.

lovely quilts!

With jaw drop OMG those are just awesome Love,love the both of them(:)

l liked your leaf quilt a lot

Both very nice.:)
