I hope you will come back and visit me again. Thanks for your kind words about my heart bargello- I have a second bargello heart pattern that I want to try and there are some other fabulous bargello designs to make too. NYB is a complex pattern for a new quilter. I love it when I am needing to make precise points- I can guarantee my accuracy with it. It can be fiddly - I guess but there are lots of quilting techniques that are finicky. I do enjoy paper piecing - it is not really complicated- It is a matter of sewing the pieces in sequence like a jigsaw puzzle. I totally admire people who enjoy hand quilting- it is not for me- I don't have the patience or the dexterity to do it - mostly its just not my thing but I sure can admire the work of others. This is a really stunning quilt- I love your color choices and the place where the quilt resides is perfect to showcase it. As soon as I link up at Amy's Creative Side I'm going to start enjoying all the beautiful quilts. This is my first Blogger's Quilt Festival. You can see the beginnings of the new quilt here. I love this quilt so much that I'm currently working on another. I was only able to steal snatches of time to work on quilting, so opted to finish Lady Liberty in the most speedy way possible. Originally, I'd intended to hand-quilt it too, but 3 moves within a year and nine months, put a dent in my quilting for quite awhile. The blocks are hand-pieced, and the quilt is tied.
Instead, I made my own templates, and started cutting this scrappy wonder.

Paper-piecing was a really new concept for me, and although I read and re-read the instructions, I never was able to make heads or tails about how to use the patterns. I received the kit for Christmas, complete with paper-piecing patterns. I began work on it somewhere around 1997, and didn't finish it until 2002. I finally decided on this one, Lady Liberty, as I never tire of looking at its many fabrics.
Even though I'm not the most prolific quilter, making many of my quilts by hand, I still had a hard time choosing which quilt to enter in the Blogger's Quilt Festival.
