Fleur de Lis Quilts Best of 2015

These are my picks for best of 2015 in no particular order (because who can say one child is the favorite?) and the reasons that I think they are the best.  It was difficult choosing only five, but I didn't allow myself to overthink, which means that I mostly picked recent posts.  I did realize that I've learned so very much from my year of quilting and making.  Goodness, I've grown in so many ways.
