What a cutie!!

Both are looking great, but I especially love the Aurora one!

Thanks so much, it’s sitting in this state and I’m afraid to finish it and ruin it 😭

Adorbs

I love the colors and patterns in this soooo much!!!

Thank you so so much!!

Thanks!!! I know I love looking at gouache paintings, and I’m not really interested in trying oils; it seems like a great medium. Soons as I find the time to learn something new 😅

Lovely!!! I hope to learn how to use gouache someday.

Thanks for the feedback!! I appreciate it. I thought about trying to go back in and lighten it—glad I didn’t, pretty sure that would ruin it at this point.

Thanks so much Linda. I made the blocks in one push at the beginning, then took it out every ~5 years or so, did a little to get the top done, then let it languish. Now I’m trying to power through and not keep dragging it on. I have 12 more straight rows of quilting and then just binding left to do!

Gorgeous—looks like great painting inspo!!

Thanks so much!!

Lovely!!

Dang, sorry to hear about your shoulder injury. That’s interesting that painting was also involved—it seems so risk free 😅 I wrote about my journey from climbing injury to painting at a friend’s request here, and also mused on the similarities: www.broadbeta.com/stories/pain...
