(Couldn’t resist a nautical phrase.) I am stunned by how much you’ve made, Louise! And, as always, by how you are able to combine just the right bits from your diverse collection of fabric and blocks to make a unique, cohesive quilt. I’m not sure it’s fair to the quilts to pick a favorite, but if I must, I pick the Asian inspired one because I think the layout is so classy. But I also like the cats in the panel of that last top because they just make me laugh!
