Have a wonderful weekend!

Shoot, even I had trouble deciding who to vote for and one of the quilts is MINE!
Michele, just sent you one for next week. I don’t enter quilt shows much but it is fun just to put the work out there for others to enjoy.
Thanks for doing this!
teri
What a beautiful assortment this week!

I really like Mountain Sunset. The colors are wonderful.
I agree… this week was harder to make the final decision. I usually look at all the photos first to see which one speaks to me. And if more then one gets my attention, then I read the description to help me make my choice. A longer description is not necessary.

LOL Teri .. I hear ya, it was hard to decide. All the quilts are fabulous.
Darlee, thanks for your comments. I agree, so for now I’ll keep the status quo and leave things as they are. I’ll revisit at the end of the year if I decide to run the weekly contests again next year.
