Thank you for the compliments. I had the farm chores quilt machine quilted by someone. The other quilt was just tied. I made the mistake of putting iron on backing onto the fabic because it was shear and I did not want the ribbon work to show through the back. I had to pull every stitch through with plyers - not your usual sewing tool. I used craft ribbon instead of silk ribbon to make it more durable for little ones, so the extra thickness and the ribbon made it really difficult.
