Hello everyone. I want to thank everyone for being so supportive when I got my longarm and was so terrified of it! Even though we got off to a rocky start, I'm sure we are going to be fast friends. This is my first bed quilt, quilted on my longarm with the QuiltMotion computerized program. I quilted a table topper and a lap quilt first, but this is the one I'm willing to share with all of you. It definitely is a learning curve! BTW, I made my log cabin one row longer deliberately so I would have enough to tuck under my pillows - that is why it looks off centre.

I have not been a fan of computerized quilting. Now that I see yours I'm changing my mind. The quilting looks great. I don't like a motif and then six inches of space left totally unquilted and I'm afraid that is what I have been seeing.

Your quilting looks wonderful and even throughout the quilt. So I guess put in the right hands those programs do do a great job. Congrats. And like everything there is a learning curve. Looks like you are high up on it already.

Hi Deb. Thanks so much for your kind words. I know computerized quilting is a bit controversial in the quilting community. I can't draw, so the computer-assisted quilting really appealed to me. I also don't like the "bare" areas, so tried to find a pattern that would look like an overall design but match my log cabin blocks. I am hoping that my free-motion work will come with practice. I always drool over Charisma's quilts and hope that someday I will be a fraction as good as she is!!
