Thank you everyone, I was very worried about the quilting being new at it. But I am very happy to see how well it turned out.

A very nice quilt and your quilting is amazing. You have the perfect tension between the thread and fabric. I always get little pulls, ripples and waves between stitching lines. I really need a lesson or two or three from you. Your work is beautiful. I wish I new your tricks.
A question if you don't mind, Is my fabric to loose or to tight to be causing those little pulls in the open areas? I am in awe of the smooth finish you have.

I first learned on a Prodigy 24" Throat machine and now have an Innova 22", I go to a long arm club for HQ's, and am amazed at how loose those quilts are loaded and taught to be loaded. The way I was taught, the back is loaded, tension tight enough to make the backing fabric flat, then add the side tension clips, put batting in, then stay stitch the top down. So when I load mine they are very taunt and dont sag in between the rollers. When I went to a show recently I asked the innova dealer if I was doing the tension (front to back) correctly, because of what I had seen on the HQ's, he said that if I was doing it like I explained, then I was doing it right for my machine. :p not sure if I am right or wrong, but it works for me, never had any of those issues, unless I dont get the sides basted down .

What a wonderful loving gesture to the mom as well as the daughter!! All of the blocks are so beautiful and the quilting is awesome! What is the name of the first block in the fourth row? I love it.
I am not sure who did that block, but I will try to find out and let you know. It was an interesting one to quilt :)
