Stunning quilts. Really like the robing Peter to pay Paul, like the variation. Never seen it done that way. Peace, Robert.

These are beautiful and look more like an advanced quilters work. I live not far from you and would like to know where you buy your fabric. The only places I've found are Hancock's and Wal-mart in Texarkana. Enjoyed seeing your work.

OK, my friend, I was going to ask you how you mustered up the courage to tackle such difficult patterns instead of sticking to the squares and triangles that I am still sticking to today. But I see now that it was "inspiration" that got you going. Congratulations!
