    The first one is Carol Doaks 50 fabulous paper pieced stars that I did as a block of the week with a group on her. The second one is Hoopsisters Goosetracks. It still needs binding. The third one is a shop hop quilt. There are chrysanthemums embroidered on it. The third is an Erin Underwood optical illusion quilt. It is still a work in progress.

    Big Red

    I gave it to my oldest and dearest girlfriend. It was one of my first so not the best job. I plan to make another one some day, now that I am more experienced.

    This is a fun post with so many beautiful quilts to drool over! I love simple quilts the best, the kind that can be used and enjoyed daily without worry. One of my most favorite quilts is nothing fancy just comforting and cozy. It's the most recent Ohio Star quilt I've pieced and hand quilted and drapes the back of our couch.

    Love your quilts.. Especially the first and second one. I have always like the optical illusion quilts like the last one too.

    I guess I would say whatever one I am working on at the time is my favorite. I do like the one I have on my bed though. After working on it for a year and having it on my bed in 2 different houses now I am still not bored with it so I guess its a good one.

    My favorite quilt pattern is "Something different". When I see something striking, I just have to make one like that...someday! I like geometrics that play tricks with your eyes especially.

    My favorite quilt is one with farm scenes made for my (late) father-in-law. He got to enjoy it for a few years before he passed. When I gave it to him, he was so appreciative, and shared with me that his youngest sister had been very gifted in the sewing arts and had done quilts. When she passed, he would have liked to have had one of her quilts, but their mother gave everything away. Dad thought my small gift was beautiful...his words are still in my heart today. (I'll post a pic when I figure out how to do so. Thanks for your patience.)

    I have two, one was a commission quilt for my girl friend when she built a log cabin home in TN. I'd seen a log cabin quilt on the cover of Traditional Quiltworks, and in the center was a large block with a log cabin with mountains behind, with a half border of flying geese. I did change the center block some, adding bushes, chimney with stone fabric and a stone walkway. It has a place of honor in her home hanging next to her 2 story stone fireplace. The second favorite is a blue/white Dresden plate I made for a family reunion quilt. With family members sending blue fabric, imagine my surprise when every piece of fabric I received was a bright blue, no large prints. I used the pattern from a book by Eleanor Burns, and I sure wish I had won that raffle, however, my brother that won the quilt told me that I would have to go some to top that quilt.
