I first must tell you I love your work and this weekend used your pattern to makes the triangles little quilt.. It was reading the post about "Little Quilts" and how you started that really touched me. The same book was my first quilt book and my first little quilt was the house fllag. I pieced and quilted it by hand and it still hangs on the wall in my kitchen. Thank you for all the information and examples you have given us of little quilts.<br /><br />Pat NordahlPatty Nordahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05384008269967005383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-32866479604266378012010-03-02T10:47:20.985-06:002010-03-02T10:47:20.985-06:00Could you see my nodding my head in agreement? :-)...Could you see my nodding my head in agreement? :-) I know most people think I make boring borders but it works. But that is because I love giving quilts an old look too. Sometimes adding a border makes it look to modern so I like leaving them off at times too. See...nodding in agreement. I am posting my blocks for your latest challenge on my blog and having great fun making the double pinwheels. <br /><br />Hugs from Holland ~<br />HeidiHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00060822757546401667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-84279416769003436322010-03-01T16:04:10.082-06:002010-03-01T16:04:10.082-06:00What a beautiful variety of quilts.

You ARE an expert. Your advice and the choices you make are logical, explained simply and clearly, and you have reasons for what you did. <br />Add your lovely books and all the projects you've made and shared, and that, dear lady, is an expert expressing her opinion. I enjoy reading what you have to say, learning from your opinions, and I look forward to many more posts like this one. <br />Thanks for including so many little quilts as examples. Every one is fun to check out.

You have a lot of wonderful information to share and I really enjoy reading about your quilting experiences. The little quilt you call ugly, really has cute blocks. The green does take away from the cute blocks though. I really like the borders too. I think you should take it apart and redo the setting blocks to your liking. When it's finished please post a picture for us to see.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525095883428818985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-55779812331352446462010-02-24T20:41:32.081-06:002010-02-24T20:41:32.081-06:00Love them all...I've just bought one of your b...Love them all...I've just bought one of your books..<br /> Julia ♥Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207957464039686839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8153120810861642199.post-91288702856711300662010-02-24T18:52:53.112-06:002010-02-24T18:52:53.112-06:00I love all of these little quilts!
