This quilt was made in the early '90's. It's a big quilt and I haven't taken a good picture of it in it's entirety. (Later note - I just scanned a slide of this quilt and it is now at the top of this post.)
Machine appliqued (satin stitch) and hand quilted, it has 25 blocks. Many times I wish I had done it in other colors. The pieced sashing really added a lot to it - and was a lot of work.
I don't think there is a single quilt that I have made that I would not have changed something or other if I had it to do again. Mostly, however, I am happy with my work and feel good that I have been able to make nice quilts and enjoy the process as well as the results. 
Some of the same blocks I do show up in more than one quilt occasionally. There are so many beautiful applique blocks - I have been saving them from magazines and books for many years and still love to find pretty new ones. So here is my Lavendar Blue, Dilly Dilly, Lavendar Green.
