This is the first one I ever did -- it is a queen size. I hand quilted it starting in the center and made "rays" out to the edges. I used the pictures of the "sacred heart" as my inspiration for the quilting.

Nowhere as impressive as what Charisma just did for me, though, with the waterfall WH

I wish the colors of the greens had shown properly -- they came out looking gray. It is long gone and I will never get to take another pix of it.

Very beautiful and a job well done! I really like your colors. I've been thinking about doing a bargello and you have given me inspiration to start.
