Pretty!! Be sure to post pictures when you get her back from the quilters!!

Beautiful job. Absolutely love the colors together. When I dropped my first quilt at the long armer, I told her that I was a little apprehensive. She said when you bring in the top, it is yours, when it leaves here, it is mine, I will treat it as if I made it myself. That made me feel a lot better and I have NEVER been disappointed.

That's beautiful. Makes you want to have them sign an IOU doesn't it. Will they let you come visit it?
Now, can we see pictures of the 2nd quilt in the photo? Is it a Cathedral Windows?
Regards, Dorothy

That's a gorgeous quilt. I'm anxious for you to get it back too so we can see the quilting.

LOL.......that is just exactly how I felt. I gave her every number I could possibly be reached at and told her (at least 20x) to call me if there was any problems. I think she was glad to see me leave! LOL In my defense......it was my very first quilt too.

That is one beautiful quilt!

Gorgeous! Love the teal (turquoise?)! I also think it is a little nerve wracking to send one off to the quilter, but I am always so surprised and pleased when I get them back. Be sure and share a new pic when you get yours back so we can ooooh and aaaah some more. Nice job!

love your quilt and colors, thanks for sharing

Harmony 06-11-2010 10:26 AM

Your quilt is beautiful, and my guess is that when you get it back from the quilter you'll be surprised that it will be even more beautiful! Be sure to post a pic!

belmer 06-11-2010 10:36 AM

Very pretty quilt and very pretty colours together.

one-and-only 06-11-2010 12:09 PM

Quilt is beautiful! My 25 yr old daughter just took the first quilt she ever made to have it quilted. She called to tell me that it was like taking a child to school for the first time. (She has no children)

tortoisethreads 06-11-2010 12:17 PM

That is beautiful! Love the colors!

jljack 06-11-2010 12:20 PM

That quilt is REALLY pretty!!! Pattern name? I REALLY like it, your colors are very wonderful!!! Can't wait to see it quilted.

Rachel 06-11-2010 12:30 PM

Love those colors. I keep thinking I'll make a french braid out of colors like those one of these days, but haven't gotten around to it yet.
Great Job!!!

justme 06-11-2010 04:01 PM

Jljack p The name of the quilt pattern is "Jewel of the Night" by Roxanne Carter. It is out of The Quilter Magazine.. March 2008.

dorothy - the "other quilt" in the picture is a cover over a futon... not a quilt. I picked it out because it did mimic a tumbling blocks quilt.

Everyone.. thank you for your kind words, I will post a picture once I get it back from the quilter.
She told me that she would take care of it and do it justice. Like I said very first time going to a long arm.. it was just too large for me to attempt on my own. It measures 118 x 110. So i will be counting down the weeks - days till it comes home.

Hope everyone has a great evening.

CarrieAnne 06-11-2010 04:37 PM

Oh, that is so pretty!

weezie 06-11-2010 07:24 PM

Sure is a gorgeous quilt top. I can understand your reluctance to let it go, even for a little while.

daisey 06-11-2010 07:37 PM
