Pam, your quilt is stunning, and Green Fairy did such an amazing job on the quilting. I went to her site to see all of the pics there, and I keep going back to look at it. I am so sorry about the line. I'm with those that say to incorporate the shadow into the title. It is still gorgeous!

Thank you... she was my first attempt at an antique reproduction and she has several flaws. I made her without a class - just copying and didn't really know what I was doing. I made the dress out of gauze, and those are my grandmother's pearl buttons - true antiques.

My point was that sometimes the judges overlook the flaws because they like what they see. And I absolutely LOVE this quilt! I wish I had the talent to make quilts this lovely.

Your very welcome. And I too wish I had that kind of talent. Penny

Most often when you do what you love, you'll be good at it. When I was first starting out in my career, a real one after working in dead-end jobs, an older co-worker told me, "Do what you love, the money will come."

I'm not quilting for the money and might never make a red cent from it but, the advice still applies.

I've been working all morning on getting the quilt ready to bind. I trimmed it square, ironed/pieced/starched and folded the binding and ready to put it on.

Need something for lunch first before I start that. I hope to get it all done, including the hand sewing on the back, this weekend. Also need to get the sleeve done and good pictures taken if I'm going to enter it into a certain show that has a looming deadline.

Those things will finish up quickly for you Pam...Best of luck to you in the show! I know it will turn many a head, no matter what!
