Almond Country Beauty is a winner!

I just received word from the piecer Vallerie that her quilt Almond Country Beauty won first place in its category at a quilt show recently!  Whee!  Doesn't it look pretty with that blue ribbon hanging on the corner?  

I have quilted two of these with a third in the queue ... it's great seeing one winning a ribbon.  Great job Vallerie!!

Someone has asked for close ups of this quilt to better see the quilting ....
