I made this quilt in a class several years ago. I designed the picture myself and I wanted the basket handle and bottom corners of the basket to be curved, but the teacher said I couldn't use HST, I had to use just squares. Well, when I got home, I made HST and used them in the handle and basket and learned a good lesson that has served me well in teaching. There are NO rules!! When I teach, I will make suggestions, teach techniques, and help with any problems, but as far as fabric choices and design, I tell my students " It's YOUR quilt, you can do what you want!!!" LOL

Boy,is that beautiful! is that what is referred to as "watercolors"?

I love your quilt. Watecolor quilts are my favorite to do too! I think your soft edged basket is beautiful & what a valuable lesson you learned for your future students! :thumbup: BEAUTIFUL :D

That really is beautiful!

Love it.

That's gorgeous. I love the watercolor method. Glad you didn't listen to the teacher. I think the few HST's make it really stand out.

I really love the watercolor quilts. I have had it in the back of my mind to make one for some time now.
Yours is really beautiful. I am glad you made it the wa you wanted to. After all she can't tell you not to use creativity. How odd!

Love it.

oh wow. that is gorgeous!!!!

That is so pretty. I love it. It is always so much more satisfying when you do what you want to do. Makes your quilt "yours". Wonderful job!
