    What a setting!!! and your quilts are beautiful too. Love what you did with the jelly roll, great fix and the applique really adds to it.

    Hey,
    A Notion to Quilt is also one of my favorite shops too. I forgot about the Bridge. Must go there soon and get some pics.
    I have met so many quilters who have done the jelly roll quilt and really did not care for it, so appliqued something all over. I did butterflies on mine. GReat minds, Huh.

    The addition of the circles really made this quilt something special. Very good idea. I like both quilts a lot.

    I've been to the places you mentioned and you're right - they are well worth the trip. Bonus - beautiful backdrop for your beautiful quilts. Well done!

    Thank you for your wonderful comments. It always makes a quilter feel special. Sometimes you never get a response from the recipients of the quilts you give away. I mark them in my book as not being quilt worthy and NEVER make another one for them. AND I forgot to mention, that I only paid $12.99 for the jelly roll. It was fairly ugly when it was together because it was all floral fabrics. If I had time, I would have added some coordinating fabrics to pretty it up. Instead, I decided to add the circles which I cut from my Accuquilt and Martelli circle templates. I make several tumbler quilts in all different colors and the scrappy ones are my favorite. I've never made a Civil War quilt and that is my next attempt. I've been collecting fabrics for a couple of years wherever I go. Then I have to find an old barn to photograph it. Thanks again for looking.
