Usually when I make an all solids quilt, I end up getting a little bored and have finally come to realize that's because there isn't enough variety in color to keep me engaged. Yours is just wonderful with all the warm and cool color changes. Using two colors in the binding was a great idea. Fits nicely with those sunsets too.Anne / Springleaf Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06114887911414187175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-4706343886681377982018-02-17T09:53:11.626-06:002018-02-17T09:53:11.626-06:00Beautiful quilt, great photo shoot, best backdrop!...Beautiful quilt, great photo shoot, best backdrop! Favorite pic is of your daughter - she's already in love with this quilt! I'm working on my fear of straight-line quilting this year. I can tolerate a few wobbles in free motion, but that perfectionist streak comes out when I try straight-line designs. Your trials give me inspiration to continue trying to master it without turning my brain inside out.

And I gotta ask... you have ANOTHER middle name besides Jean?! I'm happy for you to have taken on the solids-only challenge. I have done that too, but not as formally as you. Mine began with the "Bars" quilt started during a workshop with Tara Faughan. Her lesson really opened my eyes to how to use color in a solids-only quilt. Though, it seems you've already got that mastered! I love that you can photograph your quilts - for now - against that lovely white backdrop. That's the ONLY thing I miss about no longer living in a snowy climate!

I was apologizing to someone about a less than perfect aspect of a gift and they replied, "But, if it was perfect I don't think I would be able to enjoy using it while I worried something might happen to it." That helped a lot. I'm now more selective about fixing things.Robbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13963176990398590719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-83608620556900039112018-02-16T11:34:35.350-06:002018-02-16T11:34:35.350-06:00Beautiful quilt.Beautiful quilt.Crystal_235https://www.blogger.com/profile/14513274195726671363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-46260620217575429322018-02-16T09:55:01.096-06:002018-02-16T09:55:01.096-06:00So beautiful!!
