Jenel this is just wonderful! What a fabulous first quilt and hand quilted too! When I decided to learn how to quilt I hand quilted my first project but it was an whole piece pillow top! The red piping would be wonderful -really make it pop! Ok so I just have to say that I am a longtime fan of your boss. I have been reading her books since she started writing for Silouette 20 plus years ago. I have some of her books sitting on my bookshelves right now. Good luck and I can't wait to see your next project.
