This is my favorite nature photo and is the wallpaper on my computer screen.
This nature scene is my second favorite of columbines against the stone on the outside of my house.
This is my favorite finished non traditional quilt. My 2 favorite unfinished are on the right side bar of my blog all of the time. I hope someday they will make it to the finished pile.
This is my favorite finished twin size quilt and it is on the bed next to my computer desk so I get to look at it all the time.
I guess this one probably comes in second in the non traditional finished wallhanging category.
Coming in first place in the finished lap size quilt is this Kaffe and batik one that I call My Happy Quilt. 
The favorite finished queen size quilt has to be this one that I gave to my daughter this year. 
Unfinished traditional wallhanging size top honors go to this star quilt which has been my banner picture for most of the time on my blog. 
This one has to be a close second for favorite unfinished traditional or maybe this is in a category called tradition with a twist.
I will be giving away some bags of scraps in the next couple weeks. I know the batik scraps were the most wanted in my first blogiversary (see sidebar Label list). I have a picture of a small portion of my batik scraps to share tomorrow. I also have 30's repros and kid prints, floral prints, regular prints and if anybody out there wants them, 5" squares of 1980's calicoes. Sign up will be on days that I post the giveaway.

Congratulations, Wanda! Thank you for all the beautiful photos and explanations your wonderful work that you've been sharing for the past 1000 posts. Looking forward to the next 1000! (And, to the giveaway, of course. :):))
Congratulations on 1,000 posts. The pictures in this post are an absolute joy to see.
What a lovely picture show! Hard to choose a fav among these works. The Happy quilt is so fine, it is really like sunshine coming into a room, what a happy feeling.
I"m about to start a pineapple quilt project with a group of gals ....will be starting after Jan. 1....and I need lots of 1 1/2 inch wide scraps in lengths from 2 inches to 6 inches....SO....it would be WONDERFUL to get some more. I thought I had lots of scraps but I need more variety than what I currently have, so I'll cross my fingers to be lucky here with your scrap giveaway!!! I love all your quilts, by the way.
This was a perfect Exuberant Color 1000th post. I like every one of your quilts so much. I think my favorite is the very last one that you showed. Looking forward to your next 1000 posts!
I start my day checking your blog Wanda and have never been disappointed. I continually get inspiration from you. Thank you so much for sharing yourself and your talents with us.
Congratulations on your 1000 post! It surely represents how dedicated you are to this daily commitment. Thanks for sharing so many ideas and pictures!

Beautiful!
I like the way you label your quilts as "finished" and "unfinished". I don't feel so bad about my UFO's when I see others have them too.
Yay, 1000! Here is to 1000 more! Wanda, you know I so enjoy reading your blog, you are such an inspiration. All of your picks for your favorites are beautiful! Your eye for color is just perfect. Looking forward to seeing more favorites being made.
Wow Wanda, what a great overview of your quilts. I feel like I got to go to a trunk show.
I confess surprise that you have unfinished quilts. I really thought that all of yours were finished. That makes us all feel a little better about the tops we have stashed around.
Now you KNOW I will be here for the giveaway. I am the king of scrap happy quilts. PLUS your color exuberance is so much like in line with mine that I can't resist.
Happy 1000!!! May you have many thousand more posts!
Happy 1000! I confess that I can't pick a favorite from the quilts you posted today. I love each and every one and looking at them makes me feel happy.
Some people have to have that first cup of coffee to get them going in the morning but I just need my Exuberant Color fix to get me going and put a smile on my face.
Thanks, Wanda, and here's to the next 1000!
Congratulations on an amazing 1,000 post milestone. I have enjoyed your posts practically every day and if I happened to miss a day I go back and read the missed ones the following day.
I love that you are willing to share your work and that of your students and from time to time provide us with tips. Also your pictures of your garden are always a lovely pick me up.
I'm sure we all look forward to the next 1,000 posts.
Again congratulations on a job well done :-).
I love the My Happy Quilt. I love all of the others also but that one I like best. Congrats on reaching 1000 blog post.
