Vermont Seasons with Sunbonnet Sue This quilt was entered as a challenge quilt for the Champlain Valley Quilt Guild. This quilt was an original design resulting from an absolute brainstorm. Originally, it was going to be a quick, simple traditional Sue block with Sue holding an item for each season (eg, a fall leaf for fall). However, I took a class on Accidental Landscapes with Karen Eckmeier this summer. The next thing I knew, Sue had Camel's Hump, a well-known Vermont landscape element, behind her. I also took a class with Nancy Eha on embellishing quilts with beads. Wouldn't you know...my quilt suddenly started sprouting beads everywhere. I had a lot of fun with this quilt!! Great practice for new techniques. Here are some pictures:

I have some ideas (for quilting miniature tops) that I'll get listed out this month. It's so not the same as quilting full-size. I'll let you know when I've posted them.

Hope you enjoy it ^_^
Miniature or large-sized quilts, I only block them when absolutely necessary. If the quilt is the right size and shape to begin with, all you could really do by wetting and blocking is distort it.
Wow! that Kaleidoscope quilt is really great!
