I like your choice of colors & this a beautiful quilt-esp for a "first timer!" What state are you from, Loonwatcher? I was born & raised in MN, (now live in OH) & I still love loons, & have a collection of them! :)

This is very impressive for a first quilt! I have been working at quilting for a few years now but am still considering QQ1 & 2 m have hay hold up is that I don't have high speed internet, the prices are affordable now. Your quilt has inspired me to do the research I need to find out details. THANK YOU! Your work is something to be very proud of AND continue! I wanna see more from you! Am following you!

I love this quilt! The design is so nice, the colors just right, the quilting just enhances it. And displaying it lakeside is icing on the quilt so to speak!

It looks like you are a born quilter, fabric is very addicting once you start. The more you make the more you get to enjoy it. Lovely quilt. You did a great job!

Great job! I love Garden Song, and have made several projects from that fabric line. I know you kept adding borders until it was the size you wanted, but how big did the quilt end up being?

Sheila, This is a disappearing 9 patch (D9P) that I learned in Quilting Quickly I. Then I just added coordinating borders until the quilt was the size I wanted.
