A Challenge was issued at the beginning of the year, and seeing as how the year is rapidly coming to the end of it's 12 month rein - a LOT of awesome quilts are showing up!!! It's like Christmas EVERY day!!
These are Quilts 7, 8 and 9 from Jessie C in LA -
Nancy - who runs the MysteryQuilts4Military yahoo group says this is one of the mysteries that was run there... I tell you - you should join that yahoo group - Its awesome!!
Aren't those stars great? This next one I swear I saw as a pattern in Fons and Porter - but this is just my mind thinking - ( which means I could be wrong - but won't admit it *grin*)
***UPDATE**
The second quilt in your show is my pattern called Pinwheels Plus. yes,
it
was in Fons and Porter's Love of Quilting this year. The pattern has
alsobeen on the QOVF website for about 5 years. Free for the clicking!

Our last challenge Participant for this weeks post is Norece E . This is Quilts 8 and 9 for her. I just love it! Such enthusiasm - and you all - these quilts are LOVED - I guarantee it!!
I know I saw this in a magazine too - but again - Can't remember exactly which one - but now I want to go pull it out and MAKE THIS ONE!!
I have to be honest - I studied this one for a long time - I really did - and I took 4 million pictures, and someday... I am going to attempt it. I love flying geese - but this setting is amazing!!!
I love todays' show! Especially the blue strips with the floating stars and the white bkgd with red and blue zig zags. So many ideas. I've been collecting and having trouble deciding on which design I will make for my brother. Great show, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Those are beautiful quilts! I hope to start washing some to get in the mail to you next week.
ReplyDeleteWOW!
ReplyDeleteThe firt one I belive is from the MysteryQuilts4Military group, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteall of the quilts are so inspiring! and reminds me that I am way behind for the 12 in 12 challenge :(
ReplyDeletemaybe I should shoot for the 13 in13 challenge, instead?!
The blue strippy one with the stars is from "Quiltmaker" magazine. It gets the most comments when hanging in a show. So easy but attractive.
ReplyDeleteJust love your quilts, so do you have any free designs for QOV... I am a member in McDoungha, Ga.

I'm a great fan of the American Dreamer quilt. All of them show us what our imagination can do when we get creative. I like using the patterns I see here and in many other places to help me when I'm in a "creative slump." LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all the quilts that get sent to you. So many ideas floating out there in blogland. Thanks Alycia.
ReplyDeleteWoe so many beautiful quilts. Thanks for giving us a quilt show we can visit from home. I love the flying geese which twists and turns across the quilt. Have fun in Houston!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful quilt show, Alycia. Your ladies are doing a fantastic job! That one quilt with the stars was from a pattern in Quiltmaker several months ago...maybe January?
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful - every one of them - inspiring, too. Anyone would be proud to have made one, and then to donate it!
ReplyDeleteThree soldiers in my family - well, five that are actual family members, but two are deceased... would have loved to be thanked by total strangers. (And thanked with a quilt! Priceless.)
Hugs
I hope to see you in Houston. Wonderful quilts this time - of course there are wonderful quilts every time you show them.
