    I really like this one! I'm having some serious "quilt block". Just finished two tops in one week with no idea on how to quilt one of them. Blowing Wind might be the half the answer for the most difficult one!

    oh what perfect timing! This design is just right for the quilt I am making for my son. It's queen/king size (not sure yet depends on the borders) and has large blocks that this design will fill nicely. I have been stressing because it's so big but this will be great – and won't take me forever to quilt it up. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You are brilliant.

    This is so cool – one of my favorites so far. So much texture and movement. I look forward to more of these types.

    OK. I'm just gonna throw this out there. I LOVE this design, and am for sure going to use it, but, Leah, honey, would you mind terribly……..if in my own little head……..I called it……….."Breaking Wind"? 🙂 <3

    This is drop dead gorgeous! I took a class from Karen McTavish and am always looking for good branching variations. Don't know whether I like this or Poseidon's Eye better.

    When I saw this design, I let out a big AHH!!!! I so love this one, and it's perfect for a piece I'm making for our upcoming quilt show. The theme is Making Waves. How awesome is that?
    Thank you so much!!

    I love the swirling branched designs! I was looking for a cloud design. The closest I came was to take the body portion out of the butterfly and have it empty turning it into a cloud. Do you have one like this? Although I practice doodling, it really helps to watch how you make the paths.
