That said, your straight, but not really straight lines and your perfect placement of random color is quintessentially "you". I like that you challenged yourself and I love what you've accomplished.Michelle Engel Bencskohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16219482020450093441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-10674989487194002242008-12-15T18:29:00.000-05:002008-12-15T18:29:00.000-05:00Great colors and shapes, very beautiful!Great colors and shapes, very beautiful!Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13924212139746247500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-91075868454207643812008-12-15T17:50:00.000-05:002008-12-15T17:50:00.000-05:00oooohhh!

I know it is time to try something new when I no longer feel a bit unsure of what I am doing, and it all comes too easily. I am curious by nature and get bored way to easily. Because of this it's hard for me to stick to one set style. Sometimes I think this is a detriment but other times a blessing.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913095438247860953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-70526988007398639312008-12-15T15:01:00.000-05:002008-12-15T15:01:00.000-05:00it looks incredible and you definitely have the ut...it looks incredible and you definitely have the utilitarian thing going on there, the colors are gorgeous and as usual it has been made so beautifully.Amy Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15944145361184009214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-56593080486521295952008-12-15T14:27:00.000-05:002008-12-15T14:27:00.000-05:00Love how the red pops.

I LOVE that you worked with lines that weren't exactly straight, and patterns that weren't ridgid. Was that out of your comfort zone? I love your other pieces that have such a sense of order, and this one is so different. That's what growth is all about, I guess.

I love this one! The 'pops' of red are a lovely touch. It would make a gorgeous wall hanging for sure! I like the idea of it being a lap quilt but I'd be too worried about spilling something on it. I'm messy that way. I'd also be worried about my dog jumping up & sprawling her smelly self across it. Nope. A piece as beautiful as that needs to be displayed on a wall. Ideally a very prominent gallery wall so that it may be enjoyed by many!Hey Harriethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364446516114445193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5056845113261377115.post-20521560845899004972008-12-15T06:27:00.000-05:002008-12-15T06:27:00.000-05:00I love it, I really do.

It brings me pride in my heritage and the stories my grandmother told me of that time and place in history. It tells me that we all, both individually and collectively as a nation, need to rediscover our utilitarian roots. <BR/><BR/>I hope that's okay if your quilt speaks to me. Maybe I'm just reflective this evening. <BR/><BR/>I especially love this quilt, I think it's a masterpiece!Janishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04453865302574412911noreply@blogger.com
