very lovely. I'd love to see another pic when it's quilted. I am almost done with a Patricia Campbell Jacobean applique quilt and am ready for ideas.

I am also taking him away for a couple of days just to justify my expensive hobby LOL. I have been saving for it for the last 12 months, I think it's worth it. Don't you? Please say yes

Something that beautiful, that you put that much work into, deserves to be done right! Hubby will just have to deal with it!

Your husband will be so proud of your work on that quilt when he sees it finished that he'll forget about the cost. Just don't keep reminding him! Over the years, my husband has seen the work go out to be quilted and I never told him the cost, as I had my own savings. He even wants to go to a quilt show with me today because he "likes looking at the quilts." HA! I think he likes all the attention he gets!

Your quilt is absolutely beautiful...you did a wonderful job putting it together. I have all the blocks done on mine...just have to get it together sometime. Looking forward to seeing yours when quilted.
