Boy there sure were a lot of first attempts in this quilt. Don't know if I would have tried all of them at one time.
Couldn't have turned out any better then it did.
Love your quilt..... It looks wonderful

Jackie your quilt is wonderful! And looks perfect on your green wall.
I think you should be very proud of it and all the "firsts" that you accomplished. :D

Jackie, no amount of words could assist me in expressing how simply amazing this quilt is. It's understandable that you are not 'in love' with it right now as you have challenged yourself so much during the hard process of producing such a extraordinary piece that the feelings of hard work and determination are clouding your judgement... for now....but I KNOW this quilt will be forever in your heart as a very special project for many reasons!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think you can safely say you just graduated with honours as an outstanding Longarm Quilter extraordinaire willing to go that extra mile to perfection!! :D :D :D

My thoughts exactly! If I'd been able to achieve such beautiful results on my long arm, my HQ-16 would not be up for sale right now. Jackie, that is absolutely stunning and you have every right to proudly pat yourself on the back and say "That's MY work of art". Nita

1st quilt on point (bias)
1st attemt at swags
1st machine embroidery/applique
1st attemt at beadboard border design

SIGH JACQUE JACQUE JACQUE....we need to have a talk! BEAUTIFUL, PERFECT, if I could ever ever make anything that nice I would put it on everyday and wear it everywhere!

Patti, I'm going to one-up you and point out that I live in MN where it was ONLY 8 degrees yesterday and since I am originally from AL (and my little 'ole southern belle body can't handle the cold up here...) I really need all the quilts I can get to either help me stay warm or, in Jackie's "quilt" case, put some spring in my house!! :D :D

Although I must admit, it looks pretty darn good on your wall, Jackie!! Amazing job!
