Welcome to the board. You have made some great projects. Like everyone else, I am completely enamored with the bed quilt you hand quilted. Great colors, great pattern and wonderful quilting!
The beach hut scene is also quite unique and has a lot of visual interest.
Looking forward to many more shares from you.

Welcome to the board, and WOW - you do amazing work! I'm in awe of your colour sense, both in the bed quilt and the beach huts. You're very talented, especially given that you' very only been quilting for a couple years. I look forward to hearing more from you!

Thank you all for your kind comments, I have loved my quilting journey so far, and I'm finding so much to try. For the bed quilt, the credit for the colours is to the designer Nancy Rink and Marcus Fabrics (it's New Age Muslin), I was able to find it as a kit and then found the stencils for the floral motif as a matching set. For a newer quilter, Nancy's pattern was excellent, it had detailed explanations of each step.
I enjoyed the hand quilting, I am a cross stitcher so some of the stitching style was familiar, and I found a reasonably priced quilt frame which helped the work.

Absolutely beautiful work. That bed quilt is AWESOME & I love the colors. I really like the colorful table topper (red is my favorite color) & the pictorial scene is so sweet. You are really venturing out in a lot of different areas. Thank for sharing your beautiful quilting with us.

The quilt is Nancy Rink's New Age Quilt and the kit used Marcus Fabrics New Age Muslin, I think it was a Block of the Month quilt at one point. The pattern size is 82"x98", mine is slightly smaller (about 76"x 90") as I didn't include the outermost border. I've attached another photo showing the full quilt better. For the binding I pieced together 8"x2.5" strips of all the colours (may be hard to see in the pic).
