This quilt is amazing, well worth all that extra effort you went through to get it to look just like this. What incredible perseverance! Love the end result, a truly inspiring quilt.

So lovely! Nobody but the maker of the quilt would see that something was quilted in a different direction…that is the beauty of a hand-made item. You get to know the piece better than anybody else will ever be able to!

Do you have some kind of color pattern in mind when you are putting your quilts together? It all flows so beautifully! I love to think that it happens by chance, but have a sinking feeling that it may involve a skill that I have yet to develop.

So beautiful, and I have no idea what’s turned the wrong way – it looks just perfect to me. I was so surprised that the church ladies got your quilt back to you so quickly – any groups I know of like that have waiting lists for the waiting list – but then I read on. That’s kind of sad. All’s well that ends well, though, and your quilt is lovely.

That is an awesome quilt! The fabrics are SOOO pretty! I used to be drawn to browns, but I’ve morphed into a light, bright and cheery lover. It fills that bill to perfection! The beginning and end of its story are beautiful. I’m sorry it had a rocky middle. You must be VERY patient!

When you piece and quilt, do you measure your progress in any way or do you just let it happen. I’ve tried setting goals to completion, but they don’t work for me. It could be that my goals when I DO set them are unrealistic so I’m better off when I don’t. Just curious about what works for you…

Martha, this is a beautiful quilt! You are so good with colors – at first glance it looks scrappy, but on closer look, the combinations are perfect!

Oh my! I think I just drooled a little? Your quilt is gorgeous! Such a wonderful mix of fabrics there. It’s such a shame that the quilting you had done wasn’t right. You sure made lemonaid from those lemons though, ..because the quilting is wonderful now! Good for you..for not giving up..and learning to love the quilting.
