    This quilt was made several years ago by my customer's Mother. She washed the quilt and then added borders of new fabric, that is where the trouble began. But it did quilt out.

    Suzanne and her Mom will be so excited to see this quilt.

    I used both free hand and the computer to do the quilting.

    Beautiful cross stitching and perfect colors. The fabric really shrunk up around the butterflies.

    the swirl meander really worked in the extra fabric.

    I put butterflies in the green border, circles up and circles down in the yellow and a heart design around the wording.
