My Amish With a Twist 3

Nancy Rink has designed 3 versions with the same name for 1, 2 and 3.   I loved #1... never got around to making it.   I  really really loved #2.   Had the good fortune to quilt #2 for a client.   You can see photos of that gorgeous quilt HERE .   Then, I started seeing photos online of #3 and while attending a local show, The Quilt Room nearby was offering this kitted as a BOM.   I signed up. for them to mail to me each month.  I was not going to go for strike 3 on this one.   I made the quilt during my annual August retreat, put it on my schedule to quilt in December... but that didn't happen.   Slid it into March of this year and it was a scramble getting that 108" done... but I got it done and mostly stayed on schedule.   I had entered it in St Mary's non-judged show for April and was sewing the last 3' of binding while my husband drove me to the drop off location....

Such a pretty quilt.   Can you believe this is the FIRST quilt Paula ever made?  This quilt is on my bucket list too.  I had admired one hanging in a local quilt shop.   This is a big 105" quilt. She  decided to have the borders and center star area custom quilted and then chose a feathery swirl allover design for the interior of the quilt.   Great job Paula!  I can't wait to see what she does for her second quilt.
