When I was in Georgetown, I met Judi Tyrrell who shared a couple of her quilts-in-progress with me. They are wonderful and she said I could share them with you. Here's her version of Chirps (from Applique With Attitude, set differently than the one in the book, more like the way I set the class quilt that I made):

And her version of Fresh Picked Posies. The background is constructed the way we show in the book, Applique Outside the Lines. Judi is still working on the borders – she said she'd send a photo when it's all together.

Pretty wonderful, don't you think?
