I work so intimately with quilts, that I can usually figure out exactly how they are made. Not so this time! I might have to take Connie's class at Pieceful Hearts in order to make this one!
Here is a fractured lily.
Here is the same flower out in the border.
Another fractured lily. I love how it looks blurry.
It's unfractured sister.....
Connie has taught her "Roman Stripes" class several times. This is another beautiful fabric combination and layout. 
I quilted "ghost flying geese" in the border. 
Learn how to master this hexagon "I Spy" in Connie's class at Pieceful Hearts in Lisle. 
This is a "fractured" piecing technique that Connie teaches. What an eye-holding wall quilt! 
Schley promises that these perfect circles are really easy to make. Learn how in her class at Pieceful Hearts in Lisle this winter. This quilt displays a wonderful assortment of African motifs but this would be a great way to display any collection of fabrics that you can't bear to cut into tiny pieces. 
Study the piecing of this quilt. It is so simple yet so pretty! Of course, I suspect that Barbara's fabric selection had a lot to do with it! It is quilted with "Fern Meander".
The back is almost as great as the front!
Sandy made this quilt for her grand daughter. It is the prettiest shade of pink I've ever seen! It is quilted with "Butterfly Ballet" and pink variegated thread. 
This is for Jill's daughter-in-law. 
It is quilted with an Ann Bright pantograph of bees, butterflies, and dragonflies. 
This one is for Jill's daughter. 
The circular piecing is reinforced with Ann Bright's "Sticky Buns" pantograph. 
Linda's grand daughter wanted a "horse quilt". Not only did gramma come through with great fabric -
she also found this very cool, thick rick rack to enhance it! 
Cathie is a serious t-shirt quilt maker - good thing because her family must be fanatic t-shirt wearers! She has had so much practice that she can get those stretchy t-shirts to conform into a perfectly straight quilt! 
This one is for her son. His highschool alma mater is Saint Charles and the emblem is the fleur dis lis. 
This is for one of Helen's outdoorsy sons. 
It is quilted with a "Bear Track" pantograph except for the center. 
This is for her other son. This one is quilted with overall leaves. 
When my 4 kids were babies, I made felt and sequin stockings for them for Christmas. Let's just say that I'm not willing to make more for grand children. These are strip quilted. Nancy Garrison did the wonderful machine embroidered names. The 3 unmarried kids are debating what colors future spouses will get. Stay tuned......
Ted ran in the PeachTree Road Race for many years. But now his knees won't cooperate. Wife Barb raided his cache of shirts to make a memory sofa quilt for him for Christmas. 
Donajean made this luscious flannel quilt for her grandson. 
It is quilted with Ann Bright's "Sports Balls" pantograph. 
Schley will be teaching how to make the Storm at Sea pattern at Pieceful Hearts in Lisle. 
She uses Wendy Mathson's book and "Trimplates" to get very accurate blocks. This was custom quilted to emphasize the visual movement of the pattern. 
Schley is in the same bee as Connie (scroll back several quilts). This is HER border pass around.
I did fancy custom quilting in the large center block and a graceful butterfly pantograph in the rest of the quilt. 
Schley was able to parlay this regal quilt into 3 gifts for her son.
The blocks were his highschool graduation present. The assembled quilt was his college graduation present.
Now he will finally get the completed quilt for Christmas. Pretty clever, Schley!
We used the Fleur De Lis as the theme motif
and augmented with geometrics.
Terry made this adorable quilt for her baby grand daughter! She will add a yo-yo green pea underneath all of these mattresses. 
My mom and 3 sisters make a quilt whenever any of our children get married. This Winding Ways is for Adam and Machelle who will be wed on January 2, 2010. 
I think that its pretty impressive that 5 stitchers and get their seams to match up this well! Won't the curved border be pretty when its bound? 
Wilma made this quilt to honor her daughter's 25th wedding anniversary! 
Instead of piecing circles, she appliqued the arcs onto squares. A much saner way to make a double wedding ring quilt! 
This interesting and beautiful quilt is the result of a bee "border pass around". 
A lot of work and love go into these quilts!
