I have finally finished the Le Jardin quilt, many thanks to our great group on the Wips & Ufo Challenge, here's the link to our thread http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-85621-1.htm , if you've got wips/ufo's/pigs, etc...this is a great encouraging group. this is my 2nd one 'off of my list' now.

Le Jardin required quilting several different designs in each block. I kept the border really simple with a channel pattern.

In the process I created a shortcut or new 'method' for doing a hanging sleeve. I refuse to hand sew one on as I'm not much of a hand sewer, I admire those who do hand quilting but I'm not very good at it. I did sew the sleeve on using monofilament thread in my bobbin & cotton on the top, I centered along the top and machine sewn it on. If you quilt this area heavily, it won't show up like on mine. I still think it looks good and I've named it 'The Header' .
Blessings,
