That is one gorgeous quilt. When I started quilting several years ago I wanted to make a Jacobs Ladder, but after looking at the pattern in a book, decided it was just to complicated for a beginner. Still hope to make one someday after I get thru making the 20 or so quilts I have fabric and patterns for.

It is a lovely quilt. I especially like that you didnot overquilt it.

You did a wonderful job on it.

The "Buckeye Beauty" is also known as a Jewel Box quilt - the blocks are just scrappier.

Your quilt is beautiful. I have always loved Bonnie's quilt. When I collect enough neutrals, I am going to try it.

What lovely colors. I seldom have such a collection of scraps that are of the same color scheme. Good for you! Ah so you you get to quilt while the "holders" are away!
