Karen sent me this quilt...which happens to be a very special quilt for her because it is her first quilt...and also a birthday present for her DH. How great is that?

She sent me a picture a few months back..and booked a date...she also told me all the designs she loved...but let me have freedom to do as I wanted..I tried to incorporate all the designs she loved in a cohesive way...this is the finished quilt.

It was pieced well...I wouldn't have known it was a beginner!

The quilt is STUNNING! I am so glad to share this experience with her.

I quilted everything freehand on my INNOVA. I used Hobbs poly down batting.
Thanks for looking.

What a beauty!! Great quilt, and quilting, both! :thumbup:

Wow! Stunning! Love it!

Gorgeous quilt! As usual, the quilting is superb. I would be very proud if that were my first quilt!

Sorry doubled up.

Beginner? No way! Beautiful piecing and the quilting makes it pop! Great job:)

Amazing design and colors! So vibrant! Quilting perfect as always, adding dimension, interest, balance, movement. Love the feathers and swirls. What a fabulous quilt!
