Now the quilt is done. A hand pieced quilt definitely had some challenges. The client wanted me to re-inforce the seams with quilting so I had to come up with a motif that went through the center of each hexi formed by the kite shaped units. She felt that was where it needed the most reinforcement. She also wanted SITD to help reinforce as well. At first we weren't going to quilt the blue "sashing" diamonds but they were so wavy I had to quilt them pretty heavily to work in all the fullness so I chose pebbling.

Here is the quilt before quilting:

And some back shots. I love how the back came out. The quilt is reversable because the back looks like a wholecloth

This is just WONDERFUL....Your quilting is just so beautiful - and it sets off the quilt top to boot!!
