			<description><![CDATA[This is an incredible quilt. I have no problem finding areas in this quilt for my eye to rest. Each of the floral bands gives that to me, as does the grey, red and black outer band. The hand quilting is so tiny as to be almost invisible. What a work of art.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I'm not bothered by the scrappy fabrics--I think it looks fine. However, I don't see any quilting--maybe just doesn't show on these pictures. The thing that does bother me is looking at the bottom of quilt--it ruffles which says to me, "Is it not squared up?"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I would LOVE to see her on the show and learn about her design process. As others have said, it's technically amazing, but unfortunately, too busy for my taste. I'm not sure how the colors for this scrappy quilt were selected. They wouldn't have been the colors I would have picked, but we all have different tastes. I wish she would have had some thin outer borders (plural) spread between all the outer scrappiness, to give my eyes a place to rest. I am not sure that I can determine where the embroidery portion is, but I'm sure it's fantastic. I would like to learn more about this quilter and see more of her quilts. How long has she been quilting?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Absolutely amazing! The detail is incredible and just seeing these photos leave me wanting to know more about this quilter and her process. Curved log cabin? Just incredible. While others have mentioned the busy nature of this quilt, I see it as detail that fulfills the statement of the quilt... when holding the photos a bit farther away a lovely bold design statement is made. Zooming in enlightens the incredible detail. I’m curious how long this took her to make. It’s just lovely.]]></description>
