Thank you Kathy!

Thanks Pat... I made Sue Garman's Ruffled Roses Quilt too and it is beautiful but with the applique' I didn't want to use it on my bed with my little doggie. It hangs on the wall folded so I thought I would make this one smaller so all of it could be seen. I will download the patterns on next years too but got to get some other UFO's finished. Still in the middle of my A To Z For You and Me BOM. Kim

Thanks ethereal. I have loved planning and making this quilt. Just need to get in gear and get the applique border finished. I did Sue Garman's Ruffled Roses Quilt. Took me forever! I so love that quilt . Kim

Highdesertquilter, such a beautiful quilt! Great job!

Oh Sherry, just beautiful! Is yours scrappy or did you use a fabric line? Stunning!

Highdesertquilter, I loved the Ruffled Roses pattern so much that I had 2 versions going at once, the original one with the yellow, and a purple version that had modifications. Both are at the same stage - half finished! I’m hoping to get them both totally finished by next year at this time! So glad you’re pleased with yours.

[highdesertquilter]

Wow ethereal ... 2 at once... that's ambitious! Good luck on getting them finished,,, such a pretty quilt! I won BOS on mine at the Boise Basin Quilt Show and a second place at the Machine Quilters Showplace in Sandy Utah. I was pretty thrilled. I don't make quilts for show but this pattern of Sue's is a stunner.

Hello,

I finished my top on Tuesday or Wednesday. My husband's daughter and her family visited today and they were willing to help me get a good photo of it. Sue Garman gave us such a wonderful design. I love seeing what everyone else has done. There are so MANY beautiful interpretations!

I had wanted to try quilting this one on my domestic machine but now that I see it finished, I know that won't be possible. I can't decide between asking a friend for some time on her Sweet 16 when I visit or writing a check for a pro! I hope this forum stays active to talk about ideas for quilitng.

It's beautiful Becky. I am so getting tired of paper piecing. I won't be doing any for a while after this is finished. I am presently doing my Flying Geese border, and then on to the delectable mountains. Hope to finish by next month, as I will be starting a Sue Sprago BOM.

Highdesertquilter - WOW right back at you! two ribbons, one of them BOS! How exciting! Did you post a photo in the BOM area for it? It should certainly be there!

[ethereal]

Becky, it’s beautiful! I wonder if anyone is going to quilt it on a domestic machine. It’s huge!

[NanaPie]

Becky, your quilt is just lovely! Love your colorway!

Becky and highdesertquilter,
Your quilts are so fantastic! Highdesertquilter, your applique is awesome and Becky, your work is awesome!

OlgaJo,

I LOVE to paper piece and often turn tricky blocks that MIGHT be pieced in the traditional ways into paper-piecing! :-) I'm working on Bonnie Hunter's current mystery quilt. We had to make many flying geese for clue two. I told a friend I had already done scrillions of flying geese for Halo Medallion, so I'm feeling a little goose-fatigue! :-)

Highdesertquilter, ethereal, and others,

TQS did the Ruffled Roses quilt before I joined. Over the last several months, I've been looking up pictures on the web and dreaming of doing it. Six weeks ago, I would have told you that I was going to turn Ruffled Roses into my own private BOM and get started. Two weeks ago, I made a list of all my current projects (including those for which the fabric is purchased but the project not yet started). I probably have enough to keep me reasonably busy for 2018. I decided maybe Ruffled Roses should wait. Now, with all this talk of Ruffled Roses, I'm back to thinking I should start it soon. Like Oscar Wilde, I can resist anything except temptation!

If highdesertquilter posts a picture of her Ruffled Roses BOS-winning quilt, that would probably push me right over the edge! (Yes, I'd love to see your quilt)

Becky
