What a challenge that would have been to line front and back up to actually quilt together or long arm. How did you do that? Purple is my favorite color also. What a beautiful gift. It would be grand if the couple were to open the gifts in front of family and friends so others could see your outstanding work.

I'm not a purple person, but I like your quilt.

Stunning! The Milky Way pattern is appealing because its simplicity creates such a dramatic look. Tessellations are always fascinating. The purple/white is a great combination, and the borders are a great ending. The back is beautiful, and I also wonder at getting it lined up so perfectly.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words.

I glue baste my quilt sandwiches. When I put the top on the already-glued-together backing and batting, I carefully line up the centers down the length of the quilt to keep it straight. I've done several this way, and each time, it seems a little straighter--practice, practice, practice.
