Default Gorgeous Quilt done by Homespun

I was so shocked by the beauty of this quilt when I first saw it! It is so well sewn! All seams match perfectly! Is definitely show material! I was so scared to start quilting it. For some reason, I had in my mind Pink thread. Normally, I would have chosen red, gold or white for this quilt. But, I'm happy with how it turned out. Tell us what you think!

I would never have thought of pink thread! But it is an excellent choice here. It plays nicely with all the colors and shows just the right amount. Like all of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts, Allitaire is growing on me. I never seem to be that crazy about them at first but the more I see the more I like.

stunning and the pink works as a neutral with a slight hint of color.

The pink thread works really well with this pattern, when I get to quilting mine I think I will give that color a try. Beautiful work done by both of you.

Wow, oh, wow...you did a great job. I can't wait to get it back and do the scalloped border. Thank you for your complements, #1 piecemaker.
