BTW the size of this thing is 72" tall and 87" wide.
Maybe I went a little overboard for the first one,,,,
BUT it's to late now.
The more I look at it..........I can say I realy like it.....
Thanks to all of you that hepled me do this.
I don't think it will be my last.........
I just wanted to let you know that DH and I both love your Asian Dragon quilt. The flowers really make the quilt pop, at least to me. Are the flowers cotton? They look somewhat like wool or felt.

The flowers are made out of some leftover felt from a small design board I made (c pics). I have completed quilting the dragon square, with all of thoes swerilly Qs. WEW! When I did the dragon it was alot smaller than it is now. It is quite heaver that then. makes it hard for me to move it around as easy as the smaller pieces I've done.

A few more pictures. can see the loftyness of the double thickness of cotton batting under the dragon. and the way the flowers stick out from the background.

Don't send them. Bring them. that way we can meet and talk quilts the whole time it takes me to do it. This typing is alot harder than talking, not to mention the spelling..... I've been thinking about getting a software program that I talk into a mic and it types it out for me. After all I am consitered handicapped. I got the paper to take to DMV to get a crip plate, from the Dr. Waven't got it yet. Hey! that way I could be on here and sew at the same time.... YA! that's it. multitasking that's the ticket.

OK well that means I better get a few done first..... and if you were on here AND quilting at the same time you'd never get anything else done. Ever. Wait. That's not necessarily a bad thing....

WOW!!! Look spectacular. Are the flowers just batting? Do you puddle your quilt or roll it when you quilt? I always puddle it and seems to help deal with the weight.

I really like the dimensional look of the flowers and dragon. And the swirly quilting in the background was the perfect choice. This is really looking cool.
