its beautiful!! and i think your quilting is stunning.
i know this is crazy but i don't care for perfect quilting - it just doesn't look handcrafted to me - this is why i've never purchased a computer quilter or a stitch regulator.

I assure you that I sat over the last couple of days and wiggled the fabric under my machine. Perhaps I am knit picking with my own work, but then which of you are completely satisfied with your first efforts?

It is so frustrating when you can't get a good picture!!
Now on to the important stuff!! I love your kaleidoscope as I said when you showed it before the quilting.
Now with the quilting it is really something!!!! A great way to practice!!
I don't have room for a machine like that but I wish I did!
Your feathers are looking good I think! I love your color choices!!

AAHHH, thank you Rhonda - I don't know why I never thought of that - (cropping a larger photo, that is) I will certainly bear it in mind. When I try out new techniques, I always look to see if I can try more than one technique in the same piece, hence this latest one. I also try out new techniques on Project Linus quilts, because they are smaller than regular (bed) sized quilts, and therefore quicker to finish.
