Flower baskets finally quilted and ready to show!
 
This quilt required a lot of opinions from members here ever so long ago (literally back in February of 2011). I finished the top then stuffed it in a closet until this summer. I wanted to enter a new quilt in an upcoming show but knew I didn't have time to start from scratch piecing a top and then quilting. So out this top came and the past month and a half has been spent quilting. Put the label on this afternoon and bagged her up to deliver tomorrow. The show is next weekend (5th, 6th and 7th) and my birthday is on the 7th so I'm hoping for some birthday luck. :)

Thank you for all your kind words! I don't have a long arm, just a domestic machine. I purchased the Janome Horizon this summer and absolutely love it.

QuiltE 09-27-2012 06:23 PM

Beyond Belief!!
Absolutely incredible.

And please do show us a photo of the whole quilt!!! :)
Thank you!!

RobertaMarie 09-27-2012 07:14 PM

When I opened this, my first thought was " OOOOOH- PRETTY!!!! Then I kept looking and I think it is absolutely magnificent. I give you a ten-plus and a gold star, blue ribbon. Be very pleased with yourself, because this is an outstanding piece of art.
Blessings, Roberta

Your quilt is beautiful and the quilting is absolutely gorgeous!!!!! I had to look at your older posts because for some reason I remembered that you had had a Bernina 820. I'm glad you are happy with your new machine. I'm sure you will win and happy birthday to you!

Which once again shows it's all about the talent of the quilter, not the machine.

I LOVE the way you made the feathers fill up all the space in their respective sections (and I'm usually not a big fan of them), and the dense quilting in the basket blocks.....LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!!

Spectacular work...Best of luck in the show!
