    Default Finally Quilted.....Smith Mtn

    Hello, I made this quilt probably 2 years ago and then let it hang on the rack till now to quilt it. I'm happy to say its done and with its recipent couple I made it for. I used all from my stash and only bought the backing fabric. I used some embroidery on the 4 cornerstones, some special technique to make a quilting pattern to fill around the cornerstone using ProQ and I'm pleased how everything turned out. I used 2 differnt quilting patterns for the blocks and 2 different quilting patterns for the blue/brown triangles and neutral triangles.....over 200 individual triangles..........what was I thinking when I added them to the quilt???? Anyway its done and the couple is pleased with it. It came out 109 x 109 my largest quilt to date and probably my last of that size. Sorry to say I have no place to put this quilt to photograph it correctly so my frame is in the way. Still too wet outside to take it as I normally do.

    What a beauty this is! Love the color combo of blues and browns. I like the triangles and I don't think the quilt would be as stunning as it is without them. The stripe in the inner border and repeated in the binding is very striking. Very pretty quilting choices too. I bet the recipients will be thrilled with this lovely gift from you.
