Not being able to find the right button to turn off the flash on my wife's camera did make for some different effects on those. If they were spirits, they were cold ones as they peppered me. ;)

beautiful capture eric...can't decided whether i'm sippin' a glass of wine or a cuppa chai tea :o)

I just voted. I was getting cross-eyed--I've looked at these pics so many times. I liked so many of them.I wanted to vote for one where someone had tried a new technique.I wanted to vote for one with beautiful quilting (I'm weak in that area and I envy anyone that can do it ),I wanted to vote for one that appealed to me visually. I even wound up giving each one points for different aspects--detail, originality, visual appeal,etc. Then last night I thought, well, if I was given a choice of keeping one for myself--which would I choose? Made up my mind, went to vote and changed my mind again. LOL. I wish I could have had at least three votes!! Anyway, I've voted. I just wanted to say that this has been really enjoyable and if there's another challenge I'll join in. Everyone did such a great job. Clap yourselves on the back. ~Geraldine

Congratulations Mayme ~ love your quilt!! Did you use a pattern? I love looking at all the quilts....much inspiration and so much talent. It is so informative to read the descriptive comments. It was nice to see the "challenge" was taken literally & all the new techniques, fabrics & designs everyone accomplished. Congratulations to all who participated & finished on time - you all are winners! I got overwhelmed with job responsibilities, so had to back out of the challenge, but I did get most of the top completed ~ and it was a new challenge for me ~ It too was a Ricky Tims Convergence quilt - the twin to "Circle Meets the Square" by Polardream. The colors & fabrics are eerily alike ~ when I opened the pics, I thought I somehow had mistakenly sent a picture! Yours is finished and I love it! All the other quilts were so different from one another, this coincidence must mean that Polardream & I must have been separated at birth!~LOL~ A big thank you to Vicky and Kate! And a question for Kate-is it possible to post these pictures with the names of the quilters in the Gallery section at a later date? Those pages seem to move much slower, and they are definitely inspirational.
