You do such a fantastic job of combining them into a perfect quilt. There's just no one who does it better than you. I love the colors in this quilt. I especially like to look for little surprises (like that frog in the wonky hexie log cabins) in the blocks that contributors send in. Your dot to dot quilting was perfect for this quilt. <br />Love the sunset! You & Sean take such majestic pictures on your journey across the waters.<br />Thanks for your kind heart & all you do!<br />Hugs!Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407612669930739229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-31194615113677553492020-10-16T15:49:20.741-04:002020-10-16T15:49:20.741-04:00What beautiful colors!!!What beautiful colors!!!Nancy @ Grace and Peace Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15298076668853711855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-57899881626881773132020-10-16T10:54:29.401-04:002020-10-16T10:54:29.401-04:00Lovely sunset but really the quilt is the star.

And a good suggestion on putting a contrasting strip between baking section to avoid matching issues.

Many are from my early quilting days and are not uniform in size. *cough* They’re yours to do with as you see fit!

I am always amazed at what you put together and how it all works. It has a great deal to do with you being the thread that binds all the quiltmakers together. I just thought you should know and remember that. I love the combo of blocks, and your quilting. Smooth sailing!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08468608812169214999noreply@blogger.com
