this was a BOM project from a couple of years ago (it was my second year of doing the BOM's at the local quilt shop). it's been sandwiched for about a year waiting for me to get up the courage to machine quilt it myself. it's for a friend in a nursing home in Tennessee.

it's my first 'real' machine quilting project since my advanced machine quilting class. i'm really enjoying the 'quilting' part now!

It looks great!! Im nervous to do my first quilting.. One day hopefully soon :) Keep up te good work cant wait to see more projects!

:thumbup: You did a beautiful job! Lovely colors.

Beautiful!

Wow....did you use just a regular machine? That looks very nice and is a pretty quilt :D

Gorgeous! I think you've mastered machine quilting. The piecing is beautiful too. What a wonderful gift.

Beautiful quilt! Great job of quilting.

Very nice. Doesn't it feel good to finish something? And have it perfect?

Very pretty! You did a fantastic job on the quilting!!!!

if i could machine quilt that well, i'd enjoy it to. Mr. Green is happy happy happy for you. Jealous for me. :mrgreen: :lol:

yep! :D my best friend Janome! i've got several tables all the same height put together, which makes it much easier (along with my Supreme Glider mat!). it's not a huge quilt, but it's a decent size lap quilt.

thanks patrice!

hmmm . . . now that might be stretching it a bit! i can see a few flaws just in the pictures . . . but i'll never tell!

Oooooh, i just love how you put it all together, with dif coloured backgrounds, and in stripes, i just love it! :)

Very Nice! Your friend is going to love it :!:

That's a way cool quilt and you certainly can't tell that your quilting was done on a home sewing machine. GREAT JOB!

Great job is rite! which janome do u have? I'm a beginner, have done some machine quilting and continue to push myself to practice more. Cuz we all know - practice makes perfect - or at least better. :lol:

I really like the colors of you quilt. Nice quilting; love how you did the border. :D

it's a Janome Harmony 8080 (back when Sears used to sell them). nothing special, think it was about $400 several years ago.

this is kind of a practice quilt for me. so i tried a couple of different things. my first time meandering (other than in class).

You did a great job on the quilting. The quilt is lovely.

Absolutely beautiful!! You did an awesome job with the quilting too!!

Beautiful and gorgeous quilting.

What a neat quilt! There's lots to look at! I love the color changes in the strips.

wow, great for a first time. did you free hand or did you use a pattern.

thank u for answering me. I have the Janome 3018, I think and want more 'stuff' but not sure what. Love the heart pattern on the quilt

Oh, that is absolutely beautiful---I love all the colors. (and hope one day I'll be ready to machine quilt, too :mrgreen: )

Beautiful work. I'd be proud of the quilting work.

Kyia

all the way around.. wonderful quilt..!!

Ellen

It's lovely! You did a fantastic job on the quilting.

Cindy

Awesome job. The quilt is Absolutely beautiful.

the meandering is freehand. the hearts are stencils. i've been collecting them for a while now in anticipation of getting up the courage . . .

going this morning to the local quilt store to order some more designs! yay!

You did a great job !! love it!!

okay all I can say is JOB WELL DONE looks like you have been doing the quilting on a long arm. Very impressive. PAT PAT on your back. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

That's really pretty! I love the soft colors you used.

oooooooooooooooo very pretty...... i love it. great job

was it done by free motion quilting? I would love to get the nerve up to do more meandering and designs with my machine quilting instead to sticking to the quarter of an inch from the ditch, and other straight lines.. I need some pizazzz in my life!!

OOOHHH !! I like it.........I love it !! Great imagination and colors with this one. Great job on the quilting too !!!

That is so beautiful!

looks absoulutely fabulous darling.... :D

For a first time quilter, you have done an excellent job. Now nothing will deter you. A lovely quilt, and I hope your friend enjoys many hours of shear joy every time she uses it.
