I finally finished this. Please ignore the bed skirt! I also included a matching pair of pillow shams and pillow cases.

This is for my best friend's wedding later this year. She picked out the Luna Notte fabric line (Moda).

I've never made a braid before, it wasn't until I finished it that I realized the braids don't line up - but she still loves it and I'm still proud of it!

And I had to show off the back of the quilt. I quilted this on the Bernina with the BSR and NO frame. It took a ton of patience and muscle!

Beautiful! I love braids. The quilting looks great, I can only imagine the fun you had wrestling that through the machine. I did a double not long ago and it was tough, with far less quilting lines.

I really love this!! What a lucky friend! :) :)

It's stunning, i love it!

It's beautiful & you should be proud! Getting that done on the 440 must have been a challenge. I am trying to figure out machine quilting but getting everything perfectly smooth is my challenge. How do you manage it? I have the 440 also.

It was intended that way, right? ;) Lovely quilt.

Beautiful quilt. I have a similar washbowl stand. The one you have is beautiful. I bought mine at a garage sale for $35 about 25 years ago. :)

It's very beautiful. I did a braid quilt. I forgot that I had biases so it got all stretchy. How did you keep it all stable?

mimicrystal 10-12-2011 06:38 PM
Very pretty

Beautiful quilt. The quilting is nice too.

The braids don't line up? I think you need to get on a horse. Looks fabulous to me!

I forgot too - and I had to trim it a bit more than I wanted to. I actually trimmed it on the livingroom floor (moving a cutting mat instead of the fabric). It was an ugly process but worth it.

BTW - I hate bias!!! :)

Ha! I also have that washstand, but mine is honey oak colored. It came with an antique bowl and pitcher and I payed much more for mine than the great deal you got yours for, lol.

Your quilt is really lovely and I like all the colors you chose. I'm sure your friend and her new spouse will always treasure it. Thanks for sharing.

Does that ever look gorgeous on your bed. And that trunk is wonderful with a quilt on the bed. What a great room.

Congrats on the quilting.
