The quilt is lovely and the quilting on it is very nice too. I love the calming colors.
I have to ask...How did you find your LA quilter? Did you meet in person, or did you ship the quilt off? I tried a LA quilter a few years ago and the experience turned out horribly. She missed our appointment twice, was several months late in finishing the quilt (a birthday gift for my MIL,) then was so rude and condensending during the process that I never went back. I've been FMQing ever since, but I find it's getting harder for me to do. I'd like to find someone new to do that part.
