  1. I love it, also! Strong colors that brings out true holiday spirit! Glad you got time to do it. I wish I am able to sit down and sew but I just had hysterecomy so I had to limit myself to very few things to do like knitting or hand sew. But once I am better, I will be back to quilting! I have some updated on my blog, http://holtgallery.wordpress.com/

    OK now let's get serious here. Day 1 you start. Day 2 you finish. In between you probably cooked, cleaned, and cared for the kids. So the question is -- exactly when did you sleep?? giggle

    It is darling. Congratulations -- I bet that is record time? Yes

    ReplyDelete
  61. WHAT are you doing to me? Because I only discovered your blog recently, I am sorely behind on making all your gorgeous quilts! If you could just slow down, it would help me catch up. =) I love how this one turned out!

  79. The quilt is awesome and I have already figured out that you must not sleep but you must also have a wonderful husband that helps out and allows you all this time to be so creative. Please thank him for all of us who love to watch you work.

    I really like this pattern. It is not so scrappy looking that you can't see a definite design, and it is has a comtempory flair to it as well. Definitely a "must make" in the near future. I can't wait to see how you finish it out. Did you use a specific fabric collection or just scraps you had? I know, I know, you have already heard it near a hundred times already, but gheez, you are the fastest quilter I have ever run across (with kids too)!!!! ~Jan
