Thank you all for such kind kind compliments on my quilting. I am getting better as time goes on and the more I quilt. I had so much fun for this and it's even better knowing it was done for someone who has a real appreciation for it. :)

Beautiful quilt and wonderful quilting!

a masterpiece indeed! I know a lot of time went into this one.

It is beautifully pieced and quilted!! Love the micro work you did. I have a question. When you do that tiny stitching and then leave areas of much less quilting, how do you balance it out so the quilt hangs flat? I am working on a small quilt on my home machine and I think it seems to distort a bit when I don't keep my stitching pretty even all over the top. Any tips?

Awesome quilting on this beautiful quilt. Thanks for sharing.

What a beautiful quilt this is, great quilting.

It looks beautiful!!

WOW, just awesome. You both did a great job.

awesome job, love the quilt

Both the piecing AND the quilting are just super....the recipient of the gift is going to be overwhelmed! Great job!

Hi there! YES!!! One big tip that it seems a lot of people don't talk about, but the big name quilters do - BLOCK your quilt before you put the binding on. Dense quilting does have a tendency to suck up your batting and change the shape and size of your quilt. An easy way to block your quilt without having a lot of tools to do it - lay it out flat on a carpet, spray it with cold water, and pin it back into the shape you want - then let it dry. I block just about any quilt that isn't a bed quilt.

Also a lot of people don't like heavy quilting on bed quilts because they are afraid they won't wear well - yes, they will feel different after a few washes than a quilt that was lightly quilted - but the crinkling and the texture just add to it's beauty ...and even pebbling will soften up after a wash and still be cuddly.

Hope that helps!

Wow. That is really beautiful! I love the sunflowers!

Gorgeous quilt. I love the quilting designs you used in the baskets. Your lady friend will love it.

Beautiful quilt!

I thought your quilting was inspirational. Can you describe what designs you quilted in the different sections and repost? Thanks. I love to see ideas of others and learn from great examples like this one. You are a 10 in my book
