Jackie--
I can only reiterate what others have already said---WOW! WONDERFUL! BEAUTIFUL! INSPIRING! GORGEOUS! FABULOUS, etc.
I cannot believe you would say "I know this is a piecing site but..........!!!" It is a quilting site, for heaven's sake!! That includes piecing, applique AND QUILTING!!! I do think the reason that most of us only post pics of our TOPS is that the actual quilting is very scary to us. We lack the ideas, knowledge and skills (and in my case TALENT!!) to finish what we start. How many times have we posted pics of a quilt top and asked for suggestions on how to quilt it?
I am so glad you posted your practice work. You are so talented and we love that you share the fruits of your labor with us. Please, please, please continue to do so.
