Your quilt is just beautiful. |
NP3 - I have bought many kits and always have extra. I am thinking find a store that is reliable and use them. I notice the LQS that make up their own, are often short from what I hear from friends. hope you don't give up on them. I like to find and match my own for patterns but kits are great for retreats and such. YOu don't have time to think when you are there. LOL. hint...hint ...I do love yours better.♥♥♥

yours makes the package look horrible. great job!

LOL, love the quilt, but I do the same thing. I don't know if I have ever followed a pattern, I just get "inspiration" from them. I have never bought a kit because usually the colors just aren't quite right for me.

Too Funny! We quilter's do some hilarious stuff. And I also like your quilt over the kit.
|
Good job! They both are beautiful!

The quilt Kit photo shows a quilt that is quite show-offy ---Yes i can do flying geese, yes I can do stars, yes I can do coins...Rather a graduation piece. But yours too is quite special....9 patch on point with setting triangles. Good for you for turning what headed for disaster into a success.
