I am also in love with both of the blue and yellow quilts. I have a thing for blue and yellow this year. I was at JoAnn's Scene Through My Eyes and saw that you were from Cleveland. You missed the coldest February on record this year and lots of snow, we still have two or three feet of snow waiting for a little sun and for temperatures above freezing to start melting Candy Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469612721498821255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-4250167126197059182015-02-17T14:16:33.698-08:002015-02-17T14:16:33.698-08:00What a great post Julie.

I am blown away by how meticulous each quilter has been. I do admire their patience and precision, but have no desire to do it myself.

I have been working on my Grandmother's Flower Garden diligently for over a year now and it isn't even half pieced. I love Masterpiece of Bricklayer best, even though I don't usually like such muted colours they are very effective in this quilt. Hope your pup has had a lovely ball game or walk to celebrate her birthday. :) Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17104565945520530658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-33403042117723978152015-02-14T23:20:06.284-08:002015-02-14T23:20:06.284-08:00It must have been fun to go from quilt to quilt, a...It must have been fun to go from quilt to quilt, and see all this beauty!!

I love that background colour, so dramatic. But my favourite would be Lucy Boston one since I like playing with colour and changing the look. I might try a few blocks if I really have to do EPP. <br />Happy birthday Nikko!Tomomi McElweehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15767003421937319122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-8318462466193209932015-02-14T09:18:45.359-08:002015-02-14T09:18:45.359-08:00Nikko, Birthday wishes from NZ.

Yes, the attention to detail still amazes me after having seen so many quilt shows in Japan. I guess that the art of planning that is taught in Japanese schools is the secret. You need to plan many of the quilts you showed; draw the design, select the colours and then get enough of each fabric to make mirror images and perfect fuzzy cut pieces for the kaleidoscope, then you need time and ability to concentrate, and have storage space for all the parts...<br />Thank you for taking the trouble to get names and titles translated.<br />Happy Birthday dear Nikko Valentine!
