Sorry for shouting! But I am thrilled to report that my first queen size, first bergello quilt is finally all quilted and bound and on my bed, we tested it last night and it is awesome! Hubby and I love it! Sure beats the "Made In China" quilt we were using :thumbup:

The pattern for the bargello is a tutorial here on the board by our talented member Barb_MO, I did it in subtle fall colors (new approach the subtle part) and using it for our bed. I rented a longarm for the first time to quilt it, used wool batting (heavenly light and soo soft) and quilted it all free hand with some wavy lines all across, I think it turned out it great for a novice! I had the quilt on a zipper set and took me total 2.5 hours to quilt this 102'' square Bargello :shock: Including loading time, how spectacular is that? I loved the experience!

Thanks all for looking!
