Top Right - Grapevine Wreath (traditional, appliqued, hand quilted)

Bottom Middle - Just a Little Crazy (innovative, pieced, hand quilted)

Bottom Right - Feathered Star (traditional, pieced, machine quilted)

This quilt is 1/3 the size of the original pattern. Judy Madden wrote that she enjoys reducing patterns and generally likes the miniature version better than the original. Made summer 2001. 17 x 17
