Dar Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Birgit, That is beautiful. Would love to see it in person at MQS in some category even if it's not the traditional one. It is ribbon worthy. Nice going!! Dar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birgitquilts Posted April 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 Thank you so much for looking at my pictures and for leaving such wonderful comments. Kristina - Unfortunately, this quilts won't be at HQMS this year either. I promise to enter it in 2011. What I'll have at HQMS are my 2009 show entries "Shooting Stars" (quilt) and "Chocolate Orange Cocktail" outfit. It really is a shame that the dates for MQX, HQMS and MQS are this close together as this means my quilts can only go in two of theses shows... But for my traveling, I love the close dates... PattyJo - I'm very much looking forward to finally meet you at MQS, too. Pam H - Yes, the piecing design is my own, too - of course inspired by the traditional Lone Star and Broken Star patterns. Dar - This one WILL be at MQS - in the Innovative Custom category. As I make my quilts primarily so that I like them and not to fit in a certain show category, it was clear from the very beginning that I would use my favorite shiny poly thread (for solid colors I like to use Embrofil polyester thread). Hope to see a lot of you next week - or the week after, Birgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffq-lar Posted April 30, 2010 Report Share Posted April 30, 2010 This quilt has the best of everything--a great original piecing design (I especially love the strips of speckled fabric that enclose the center medallion) great piecing, and of course your outstanding quilting. Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birgitquilts Posted May 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Being so very traditional - at least for me - I really didn't know what to think of this quilt. All your wonderful comments just tell me that I must have done something right... Thanks you so much everybody. On to some of your questions: Debbie - So far, this original pattern is just a couple of pages of write-ups. BUT, I'm planning make it into a pattern. I'll make sure to post once I know how and where it will be available. Thanks a lot for your interest. Marilyn - My Millennium (my first and only longarm machine) was delivered on May 3rd, 2005 - so, we'll be celebrating out 5th anniversary next week! Have a wonderful weekend everybody, Birgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollyJane Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 GORGEOUS. Was hoping to make it to OEQC this year - but my 14 year old has chicken pox !!!
