    ReplyDelete
  95. I vote for Quilt Dad. His quilt is so fresh, lively and original!

    ReplyDelete
  96. These are marvelous quilts. My vote is for Quilt Dad, John Adams. His design seemed so original, and varied from popular style. The colors felt free, as unorganized as a tangled maypole dance. I thought it was the most creative.

    I really liked the M Bohr and Lee Hemrick designs. They drew me to their colors and design, and I would love to make either of them.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I wasn't sure about Faith's quilt when she first started showing the pictures, but I was blown away when I saw it all put together. I absolutely love it!

  103. absolutely love Freshly Pieced - Lee Heinrich, it's color choices, flow and motion are wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  104. Big Top (Fresh Lemons/Faith Jones) is my favorite. (It's too bad the photo chosen to display it is so far away--the pictures on her blog who it off much better IMO.) I do love what each and every quilter has done with these gorgeous fabrics!

    ReplyDelete
  105. Wow thone are all fabulous quilts. But my vote is for Faith Jones from Fresh Lemons.

    ReplyDelete
