09-06-2016Question is how does one decide its their best quilt? I made 2 quilts for my grands that I thought were well umm not my best .. but they loved em. Same with a 10 minute block quilt that I made for a good friend, she loved it. Time ? depends on if one has all the time in the world to spend on it ..
I guess the old saying: beauty is in the eye of the beholder is so true ...

Snooze2978 your quilt is a real stunner! Can't decide whethe it's because of your fabric choices or the perfectly designed quilting stitches - must be both!

Your quilt is lovely! This type of quilt is in my bucket list. Was it needle turned applique??

Like I told you, this needed to be here. I'm glad you decided to post it.

I added the red sashing, blue cornerstones with the state initials below, and a paper pieced star as the cornerstone in the border, to make it queen sized.[ATTACH=CONFIG]387212[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]387213[/ATTACH]

I have had the pattern for several years but I googled the pattern name and came up with this web site for the pattern:http://www.quiltandsewshop.com/produ...lting-patterns

You have entered it into a quilt show (or many) right? It would definitely win a blue ribbon, maybe even best of show ribbon! It is amazing.
