I love seeing all these posts of ideas, trials and the final products - so so so "STINKIN' COOL" to quote margo

Michele, Wow! love your HST quilt especially all the secondary patterns that appear! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing! Lesley

Michele, The quilt is better than beautiful. I continue to be amazed at all the wonderful designs. Lois

Dear SoTT’S,
I have been off track, doing other small projects. Wish I had known about the Sept 1st deadline-too late to make it now but will try to make it for January.
Everyone’s projects are just sew beautiful! I just love all of the designs & use of color. I am trying to do the Medallion Quilt our of Edyta’s book. I think I will have enough left over to do the Life Tree also. Too bad we couldn’t have a booth with all our quilts displayed in Houston and show to get fabric exchanges started,etc. You guys are certainly the experts with what you got done during the exchange! It was such a great group
I am doing Syta’s Medallion Quilt & it makes me dizzy sometimes trying to move HST’s/colors around and the like. Anybody have any secrets or words of wisdom?
First mistake is I don’t have a Design wall so it is spread out all over the top of our guest bed ; then I start moving HST’s around to see what it looks like. I sure would like to get it done if only my DH & my four dogs would help out. My longhaired Chihuahua has been diagnosed with myastyenis Gravis (sp). We had to take him to a Charleston specialist while they kept him in ICU for a couple of days.
What a challenge his treatment is but we just love him so much we have to try to save him. The rest of the family, humans & canines would be devastated!
Well hopefully I can get a second panel done tomorow and post it to get some input on the color of the border.

Beautiful Michelle!

OMG, Michelle, another beautiful HST quilt for us to drool over! It's beautiful! Great work! Can't wait to see it quilted!

OMYGOSH!! Michelle, you know I'm partial to scrappy neutral quilts, and this one just sings to me!!
It looks wonderful and I can't wait to see how your quilting dresses it up even more!

I have finished piecing my SOTT/BRU Exchange quilt!! I cropped and edited it a bit in Photoshop Elements but I cut off the very last edges a tiny bit. It finished at 60" square and has 900 patches in it. I have named it "Stars Around the World" in honor of all the TQS Quilting Stars that we all are!!!

My first thoughts for quilting was just to do an overall on it... BUT, now that it is finished, I see that it really deserves some awesome custom quilting... lots of feathers in the neutrals and continuous curves in the dark triangles. I had to schedule it in my calendar... the only open spot left this year is the end of November!!

I am planning on getting better pictures for the Sept 1st deadline... Still need to buy some better lights and a tripod.

I am totally amazed at how wonderful everyone's quilt is! Who knew so many creative quilts could be made out of a base of HST's??!!!! Thank you to everyone who shared a tiny piece of themselves! We really are shining stars around the world!!

DITTO JOJO! Shirley35, your rainbow quilt is beautiful. And...Edyta is really "A DOLL" for introducing us to these wonderful friendship HSTs!

Shirley, it's wonderful. I love the additional small borders too.

Am I the only one that still is amazed at how wonderful all the quilts look with their rainbow of different colors/hues. I'm so glad that TQS exposed us to Edyta and her Laundry Basket!

TQS member Shirley35 is having difficulty posting photos but was able to e-mail me this one:



She says that: My quilt is 59” square, golden triangles in center and all out of US in the corners. My title is Different Corners of the World.

Annis, fab quilt. Turner out great. The lighter fabric really makes a difference. Your quilt ideas sound great.

Annis, your quilt is beautiful. I really like your quilting ideas for the light and dark setting triangles. It is inspirational to see everyone's quilts and how different all of them are from each other. What a fabulous assortment of ideas, colors, and remembrances. Thanx to everyone for sharing your special quilts here!

Hugs,
Shirley
