I finished the quilt I posted last winter for design help - http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-35741-1.htm . I finished piecing it right before I got my Voyager and frame in March and waited to quilt it until I had done a few quilts.. This was my first attempt at quilting around applique. This was my first purple quilt, too. I like how it turned out.

Beautiful!

quiltbugs 08-06-2010 04:42 AM

I'll bet you LOVE how it turned out, because it is just gorgeous.

Maybe a dumb question, but I know nothing about long arms --How long does it take to quilt something so intricately like that? It is beautiful.

SharonAnne 08-06-2010 04:43 AM

I can't tell if I love the quilt or the quilting better. OK, I vote for both!! I could gaze upon it for hours.

sidmona 08-06-2010 04:47 AM

Absolutely beautiful - you did an awesome job on the quilting as well.

Thanks! This was all freehand except for the curved crosshatch where I used a ruler. I started it last Saturday before we went to a ballgame in St. Louis and got the 1st border on one end done. I ripped out the stitches several times before I finally decided on the type of feather I wanted in the setting pieces. I've worked on it every day since then and finished the binding last night. I did take a break and go boating on the lake one afternoon. :-) But I was motiivated to get it done while I was home as I've got two customer quilts to do (my 3rd and 4th customer quilts!! )

I am happy with it , I got the blue oriental fabric, and it took me 2 years to figure out what I wanted to do with it.
