they’re all so beautiful!
Thanks for putting this list together–what a great resource! I’m actually in the middle of making my first quilt. I’m using this tutorial from A Quilt is Nice. It’s taking more time than I thought it would (isn’t that always the case?) but I’m pretty happy with my progress so far.
