Beautiful jewel tones--that would brighten up any day.

I really admire the applique. It's lovely and something I know I wouldn't have the patience for.

This is a queen sized quilt I pieced on my 1953 301a....but I quilted it on my shortarm on frame.

It was for my stepson's wedding. They love it!! They picked the colors.

More great quilts! I love them all.

Irishrose - wonderful bright colours, and well done on the quilting! I'm not sure whether an all-over meander is something I will ever try, sounds scary.

Jljack - great job with such muted colours. They definitely needed to be kept in large pieces.

Happyquiltmom - lovely applique. It looks so nice finished with the blanket stitch.
