Sherryl.....I cannot believe how much our color strips have in common :) Obviously, great minds think alike. LOL If I had seen yours prior to working mine up, I wouldn't have been so worried about there being enough of a contrast between blues and a black background.

Wow, that is gorgeous and my favorite colors to boot!!!

it is beautiful!!!

That is just too beautiful!

Hi Lorie
Your blue Infinity is lovely. I had mine professionally long arm quilted. Nadia did a freehand paisley pattern in the dark and light sections with a matching thread - one lighter and one darker. Then she did tiny freehand loops and swirls in the black background with black thread. She repeated that design in the outside border and did the tiny folded insert border in the ditch with invisible thread. I think the quilt is too beautiful for ordinary stipple but I am a little bit prejudiced. My long arm quilter is so talented. If I can help further by all means let me know.
