Support and Inspirations

As a follow up of the Texas Truffle post I titled this post "Support and Inspirations". After I had forgotten the challenge that came with making the Texas Truffle I saw this pattern and just had to make it... I ordered the Glacé by 3 Sisters and put it in my to do basket. I was talking to Kelly one day and told her about the Texas Truffle I had made. This conversation inspired me to get my Glacé fabric out and start the "Starlight Express". As you may remember a few weeks ago I showed you the one block of the quilt I had done......
and how I was not motivated to make the other three? Well with all your inspirational comments and support here it is...all done...
(I cannot count how may pictures I took of this quilt and this is the best one??? With all the seams it appears all wrinkled and dull when it fact it is very vibrant)

I will update this project after it is hand quilted.
Thank you so much for your encouragement in completing this quilt. I just could not let you down!

  9. This is so gorgeous! I have to say, I have this pattern and I have always wanted to make it. But, you make me nervous...you are such a quilter, and if you found it challenging I suspect I would hate it. What were the challenges?
