Amelia’s Quilt By: Jacquelyn Morris Smith, Arizona, USA It was for Amelia Jacquelyn Lougy, my Granddaughter. Funny thing, not really, is that the quilt was brought downstairs from her room to ‘show off’ and somehow the dog thought it was meant for him to CHEW on….so it seemed to be destroyed. I took it home and repaired it the best I could. Quilt size: width: 48" height: 56" |

Flowers in a Pot By: Daryl Perry, New Mexico, USA I had several leaf blocks from a block exchange that I wanted to use as a border so the border idea actually came first.

Love the ‘Garden Friends’ quilt. So cute!!
I love looking at the quilts each week and find it hard to decide which one to vote for…but I really liked Bordered Beyond the Block. It got my attention for being a different way to put a quilt together. All the quilts are lovely though!!
This was the toughest vote I have had so far. Many, many nice entries.
