Quilt size: width: 58" height: 76" |

Pizazz! By: Lindy, Washington, USA What happens when I watch a quilting show on TV or online, read the latest copy of Quilting Arts magazine or see something on a blog that triggers hyperactivity in my muse?

Straits of Georgia By: majik, Missouri, USA This is my interpretation of M’liss Rae Hawley’s Straits of Georga from More Fat Quarter Quilts. I fell in love with the pattern.

Thanks for sharing and participating! Love that Aurifil…
LOVE THIS THREAD!
THANKS FOR SHARING!
A little confused – joined late through Quilting Gallery, so had already commented on the previous post – not sure if I was to comment a second time, but here it – love Aurifil thread!
Your Aurifil post seems to have closed comments so I thought I would post here to let you know thanks for the chance to win and the free quilt block pattern!
I always have probs seeing the ‘bottom’ quilts when I want to vote. What I’ve found works for me is to double-click on a word (any word) in the last description I can see, then TAB a time or two. That usually takes me to the next (hidden) quilt. I can continue TABbing until I’ve seen all the quilts competing, then vote for my favorite!
Cannot get into the Aurifil comment section to post comment. It states that there are 416 comments but only 404 show up . Last page seems to be missing.
With all the snow around here I vote for spring with all it’s newness and freshness. Ans you do not hae to shovel it !
Cute block.
I can’t leave a comment in yesterdays post. So I’m leaving it here. My favorite season is Spring. I love the tulips and the way the air smells.
Thought I had left a comment about winter being my favorite…but I don’t see it…I hope I did this right on the other ones!
Neat website.
Yet again a great display of talent, well done to all.
Thanks for sharing all these beautiful quilts. It was very hard to pick just one. I loved all the talent and all the stories that went along with each quilt. I especially like the one about the song. I thought that was so need. What a beautiful display.
I thought the song one was so neat. My daughter has songs pop into her head at different times. It doesn’t matter what’s she is doing, but she has to write it down. I hope the dear one gets her song finished.
It was almost impossible to choose just one. These are some of the most beautiful quilts that I’ve seen entered in any of your contests! I am still thinking on which one will get my vote. It’s down to two……..
They are all so wonderful. Sincere appreciation for everyone’s work.
I like the broken dishes quilt. It’s one I would like to use on my bed. I always look at quilts that would look at for the bedroom.grace
I like the broken crayons quilt. It’s one I would like to use on my bed. I always look at quilts that would look at for the bedroom.grace
