I finished this flimsy last night. It's been in the works for over a year!
"Garnet Hill," 68" x 51"
Actually, it's been on my mind since I saw this folk art rug in the Garnet Hill catalog 5 years ago.
I made this block today. It's the start of my summer scrap project.
And I won a ribbon for "Spring Equinox" at the local quilt show! Quilted by Cindy Gilbrough.

Congratulations on the win! It's an intriguing pattern, I must say. Your finish is beautiful. You are very creative to see a quilt in the picture. love the idea of creating a quilt in that way.
Congratulations on your ribbon! I've loved Spring ever since you started working on it and it's wonderful to see it recognized as the work of art it is. Your Garnet Hill is wonderful as well. I love how the colors are spread around and the blocks so varied. I can't wait to see how you quilt it. Looking forward to seeing a quilt with the rest of the blocks you come up with in your current project.
