They certainly do break out in praise. One man had the land but had never had a house on it. He said "Now I can live on my kingdom!" I'm made a table runner for this years auction, and will post pictures when I get them taken. I used a twist & turn pattern and it has roosters on it, so I named it "Caribbean Rooster Round Up"!

These are primarily my favorite photos of quilts done by others for inspiration purposes. I will be making my version of this quilt doing my own patterns at the request of a few people and will post those patterns on this thread for all to enjoy. I'll send you a PM so you don't miss the post. Thanks for your nice compliments of my house collection photos of favorite house blocks!
:-D :-D
