This is a quilt that my aunt let me quilt for her anyway I wished. My 3rd customer quilt since I got my machine this past March. The blocks were huge 24" square blocks. My machine wouldn't handle that big of a block at once, so I divided it into a feather wreath in the middle and 4 setting arch feathers in the corner triangles. The sash was a curly feather and I did a rose in the cornerstone blocks. The border was just a small border, and I felt it needed something to break up the curves of the rest of the quilting, so I did a zig-zag in it. I wasn't sure how well it would turn out. I wasn't thrilled with the quilt to begin with, but I'm happy with it now.

My gd saw this and now wants one like it. I also love it. She likes the design of the quilt but doesn't understand the "quilting" part of it but I do--it's gorgeous!

Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. I purchased a Voyager 17 with Hinterberg stretch frame in March. I would have loved something bigger, but this is what I could purchase without going into debt and I felt I could get my money out of it if I found longarm quilting wasn't something I liked. I find I like it very much and now I hope someday to get something a bit bigger.

You can quilt my quilts any day! What lovely work. If this is only your third quilt, your future quilts are going to be fantastic. I'm surprised that the quilts aren't lined up in front of your door.

One of my favorite parts of this site is to hear the stories that go along with the quilts.

I really admire your quilting and like the zig zag on the border. I may copy that for a quilt I'll be doing shortly. :x
