Wow...up close it is even prettier! Beautiful quilting!

Thanks, I worked on it for awhile, and then met my husband to be who hates flowers in the house, so I stuck it away. Then when Little Mary was needing fund raisers for her trip, I put it on my portable quilt frame and sat in front of the TV until it was finished. LOL I think we raised about $1000 for it raffling.

Pat, yes, sewing on the back is a bit annoying, that is why I like to do it before my applique whenever possible as I have more control when it comes time to placing the applique pieces. Mousie, show us the fabs, please :-D ok...if you gotta have an ooh, ahh, slobber moment...BUT, lol, you can't have it right now. I am at dd's house, and the fabs and camera are at mousehouse :-o :mrgreen: |

My problem is that I hate having to stop to prep the next few blocks! I wish I had someone who did that for me so I could just stitch them!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Patty, thank you, actually this quilt was painted and I hand quilted the whole thing. I raffled it off so my daughter could be ambassador to People to People and she went to Australia. A few years ago I had a student who went to Australia with People to People! It was an amazing experience for him! :thumbup: My student went to Australia in the summer before 8th grade year, too! He did an extra-credit project upon his return, and his classmates just loved it! So did I!!! :thumbup: |

The body got duplicated but the morals...not so much ;-) |
I second all the comments on your quilt mshollysd. Beautiful work.

Well, I got my center sewn into 2 sections today. I am sewing the trapunto batting onto some of the square blocks prior to joining the 2 sections. I'm thinking about quilting this in sections and may quilt this center before adding the next block border...what do you ladies think of doing it this way? I've never tried quilting in sections before.
