Very nice quilt! I make a hot air balloon themed quilt every year to be raffled off during our hot air balloon festival each year. Your quilt "inspires" me. Did you piece the focal balloon??

I have been collecting fabrics with hot air balloons on them for years - still haven't made a quilt with any of them - hate to cut them up!

Hey - we do a passenger ride business as well! Small world. Haven't set any world records or flown in quite that many countries - only US, Canada, Austria and Switzerland. And same as you, saw the thread title and had to look. People never believe you until they are back on the ground that there is no sensation of height. DH & I are both afraid of heights and are both balloon pilots. It is an awesome experience. Gentle breezes and soft landings......

Your quilt is dreamy -- all the color, and the sky background....wow! Great job!

WOW - just wonderful, great job and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed day
