Bonnie I've wanted an IPAD for so long and Quilt cam got the deed done on Black Friday deal. I'm set and RTG for this afternoon and super happy though not a good driver yet.

Then after looking at the "very close and very precise picture" I went back ... and there were the tumbling blocks! I suppose my eyes needed training to find them! The detailed photos reveal the beautiful stitching too! <br />A fabulous collection of quilts - I'd give my eye teeth to own just one!

I loved the way they occasionally had lighter rows of diamonds that had a lower contrast than the darker ones. I am finding myself making borderless quilts more and more often. I like quilts with borders too; but I don't take the point of view that all quilts should automatically have borders. <br /><br />I hope to join you later also. I have some HST that need to be sewn for some pillow tops. There are also kitchen chores to be done. such a dilemma!Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933263892737536339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-75379659297002956392012-12-02T11:21:21.730-05:002012-12-02T11:21:21.730-05:00Great post!

Those diamonds seemed to move in funny ways as I moved from one picture to the next. Something like those little books we had as kids where you flip the pages to make the action happen!<br />Quilts from Claire are an inspiration and an awe inspiring collection.
