Whether or not these are "stunning" is for others to decide. They are, however, my personal favorites. The green nd black one is my avatar. I bought the fabric in June at the Keepsake Quilting tent sale and the quilt was done and ready to enter in the Vermont Quilt festival the following June. It is self designed and was certainly taxing of my abilities. the Black and orange quilt started with a Carol Doak paper pieced mariner's star in the center and then grew into its final design step by step, designed by me. Again, taxing of my basic abilities. I think that's why they are my favorites - they were challenging.

I would have to say both of these would be a couple of my biggest accomplishments. The baby quilt because it was my first time doing dresdens and diamonds. I didn't have a pattern just figured as I went and the center was cross-stitched. The cat quilt because it was all paper-pieced and again, no pattern just put it all together as I went.

My avatar is my crown jewel. I made it for my DD's wedding gift, and it took me approx 6 months. I named it "Color My World". The original pattern used floral fabrics for the centers, but I chose to do each circle(New York Beauty) block in a different colorway. It is entirely paper pieced, pattern is called "Sisterscape" by Valori Wells. My favorite section of the quilt was the salmon at the bottom! Pictures are prequilting.

JenniePenny, I saw this quilt when you first posted it and it is on my bucket list! I have started collecting fabrics and judging by what I have collected so far it will be brighter, in your face, colors! I look at your picture often.
All of the quilts here are so awesome, each in their own way. I see the talent here and just think of all the talent we never see.
Keep em coming!
