    Thank you!!!

    The top was one I bought on ebay when I first bought the longarm. I was planning to take a couple weeks to make a top, then quilt it in one day, then remembered that I had this top. Soooo, I took a about two weeks to quilt this. There are about 30 hours in quilting in this top. It is a faux trapunto technique - there are two layers of wool batt beneath each design, and it's pushed down with the pebbles.

    Shelly, now there's yet another technique I want to learn---trapunto!

    It really makes a stunning quilt--great work!
