The reason I had that debate is I have a few quilts which I would consider favouritesbut this one comes to the top of the list everytime I am asked this question ....
"Texas Truffle" in Chocolat by 3 Sisters.I started this quilt in 2007 and finally finished it a year later.
This was my first appliqué project after I attended my appliqué class.. and the start of my love for appliqué. I always admired "Lone Stars" quilts and of course the fabric was a big reason why I just had to have that kit! The challenge was remarkable but well worth it!
Pillow shams done and the ensemble is complete and displayed proudly below the angel headboard I painted.
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful! Love the headboard! You are multi-talented!
ReplyDeleteLone star qulits are always striking, and yours is no exception. Well done! -Joanne
ReplyDeleteIt's stunning...I can see why this is a favorite!
ReplyDeleteIts stunning. A lone star quilt is definitly on my wish list for the future, but it still seems a bit daunting to me. The fabrics are gorgeous and I love your angel headboard! :)
ReplyDeleteYour Lone Star quilt is gorgeous! I have always wanted to make one, but can't get myself to work on it because it seems like alot of work.
ReplyDeleteA real beauty, Joan. I'm glad you decided to share it. :-)

ReplyDeleteJoan I'm so glad you entered - oh my goodness that quilt is spectacular - the piecing and the applique! And my goodness you painted that headboard? You are a woman of MANY talents!!!

ReplyDeleteYou make the most detailed and dynamic quilts, Joan. You are so talented.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning! Love the matching pillows.
ReplyDeleteOh, my GOSH! What an awesome quilt!!! Texas Lonestar and applique in the same quilt. Great job, Joan! Thanks so much for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteLone Stars have been a favorite of mine for many years, and this is a gorgeous example. Your applique adds so much, and the matching pillows, oh my! What a beautiful bed and headboard. Thank you for sharing this quilt's story :)
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful lone star quilt! Well done! And I love your headboard! The quilt in your header is similar to the one I am featuring on this Quilt Festival. I say "similar" because I never follow a pattern completely, but it is the same quilt. Yours is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Lone Star quilts are always so dramatic, but the addition of the applique really puts this one over the top. Excellent!
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful! I like the pillow shams, too.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt and headboard!
ReplyDeleteWow! It's gorgeous. It looks so perfectly on the bed with that wonderful headboard. Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteLove those modern pillows with the traditional star - nice combo!
ReplyDeleteOh Joan - I love this quilt - and the applique, and the shams - and your head board! It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt, no wonder it's a favourite and the headboard is brill too, Lis x
ReplyDeleteHow can I say this? YUMMY !!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs you have probably read in a prior post of mine on my stash - Chocolat by 3 Sisters is probably my ALL-TIME favorite collection. And I don't let anyone touch what I have left of it..LOL
You TRULY did something worthy of me clapping on this one, Joan. I always wanted to purchase this particular Chocolat kit but was always afraid to tackle such a project.
YOU tackled it AND CONQUERED it !! Congrats !!
Beautiful quilts. And I'm in love with your headboard.
