Elizabeth is soooooooooooo talented, and so generous with sharing her talent via her blog. I love everything she makes, she has such a great way of coordinating fabric and her designs are always eye-catching.
Thanks for featuring Elizabeth’s new paintbox quilt. I hope to make it one day, but I still have to gather quite a few more monochromatic prints yet. I’ve got the solids covered.
Love the Paintbox Quilt. What a great selection of colors.
I love her blog and this quilt is quite wonderful.
That is quite beautiful and happy-looking!
Elizabeth is amazing.
I nearly feel like I could dip a wet paintbrush in it and go!
This is SOOO pretty!!! So many Kona cottons, but so worth it for the end result!!
I’ve always liked this quilt. I even bought the jelly roll of kona brights to do it. Maybe some time soon…
Each version of her Paintbox quilts is amazing. AMAZING! I still plan on making at least one version. I can’t wait to see what she has coming up.
finished the top to my paintbox quilt, not to get it quilted.

Is there anyone who doesn’t love everything Elizabeth makes? She is so talented and easy to learn from. Thanks for sharing this awesome quilt. It’s been on my “Maybe one day” board for awhile. What I want to know is how she gets so much done…
Each day I think-okay that’s reaaaallly my favorite. And each day you share a new incredible quilt. Thanks for the inspiration and treat for my eyes.
This is my all-time favorite “rainbow” quilt. I’m making a version of my own, but it’s not nearly as nice…
love this quilt!
Again,I LOVE her style and her color selections. I want her to come and live with me and help me with colors.
And this quilt is wonderful.

I cannot get over how amazing Elizabeth is. She makes it look effortless. This is another breathtaking quilt feature, SMS!!!
Oh she always has such pretty stuff!
This is so beautiful.
I love it!!!
I think this might be my favorite one so far – it brings back memories of paint boxes from my childhood that had little squares of paint in them – nice watercolors, so different from the readily available kind today.
One of my very favorites – Elizabeth’s style is so fresh!
Lovely as ALWAYS!
So many things I would love to try and so hard to find time to get to the machine…. I would love to try making some quilt blocks.
This is one of my favorites.
