This quilt was made several years ago by my customer's Mother. She washed the quilt and then added borders of new fabric, that is where the trouble began. But it did quilt out.

Suzanne and her Mom will be so excited to see this quilt.

I used both free hand and the computer to do the quilting.

Beautiful cross stitching and perfect colors. The fabric really shrunk up around the butterflies.

the swirl meander really worked in the extra fabric.

I put butterflies in the green border, circles up and circles down in the yellow and a heart design around the wording.

I love cross stitch.... it was my first needle craft!

You have successfuly combined the two arts of quilting and cross stitch into a beautiful creation, and one you can darn sure be proud of. Very nice indeed!

This looks good! I have a quilt top that I am cross stitching a floral design. Do I need to quilt it speacial like this one is quilted? How to I decided how to quilt it? I am worried now that the cross stitch will shrink.

I have quilted 8 last year alone. They really look nice when they are quilted. Totally up to you, you may want to hand quilt it, I have seen this done also.

Enjoy!
