I should finish up all the quilting by the end of this week but I won't be binding it until I do the quilting I need to do for some very patient ladies.
So..............here are some progress photos as of this morning. I almost have the water background done in the body of the quilt. I will be adding a water background to the borders around the rope. The most I've learned are ways to come up with ideas and a few small techniques that were very helpful.

Very pretty!

You are so talented! It's georgous!!

Very nice. You are such an awesome quilter.

Jackie - I love what you're quilting with your beautiful sailboats!

Thank you for the very nice comments. TRUST ME, this isn't talent, this is WORK!!! But, work I enjoy when I have the time. Just a reminder that this is my class project for learning custom quilting. I have a long way to go and so much to learn.

Your quilting is simply amazing! You do beautiful work!

WOW :shock: This is the prettiest, most unique, gorgeous quilting :D :D :D You are very talented, can't wait to see more :D :D :D

Wow Jackie!!! I've been patiently waiting to see what you had done and boy...if I were you, I would have been showing it off sooner! Who is teaching your class? I love your ideas...the different sea creatures are wonderful! I love the jumping dolphin too...well, heck, I'm just impressed with ALL of it, Great job!!! I'm :mrgreen:

Amazing free style quilting Jackie! Your quilt is one stunning piece of art work. Thanks for sharing your talent. You are such an inspiration on this board.

I love it!!

WOW :!: I never cease to be amazed by your beautiful work. I am sure it is a lot of hard work but without talent there it would not look so stunning. I know people that work very hard on their quilts but they lack your talent and the results show.
Keep on sharing your photos with us they are inspiration to us all. :thumbup:

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Your work as always...BEAUTIFUL!!!

Simply BREATHTAKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am always in awe of your beautiful work! Thank you so much for sharing!

I love it!
The Dolphins, the water, the rope, the sailboats, the colors, the seahorses!
I just love it!!!!
You do such wonderful work!
Kirsten

ooooh that is gorgeous!! i wish i could accomplish something like that-i bet it is a lot of work. someone is going to really love this quilt and cherish it forever--i know that i would

OH MY...........I must preface this by saying that I was brought up with hand quilting, and while I have seen some nice machine quilting, I never even considered it for any of my quilts. Now I must eat my words and say that if it were you doing the quilting, I would have NO difficulty handing over one of my hand stitched tops to your care and giving you free rein to do with as you wish...anyone should be thrilled to have your work on a quilt...... BRAVO!

Jackie,

thank you very much for sharing your photo's. You do such wonderful work, you are an inspiration.

Once again thank you for posting the pictures! SIMPLY MARVELOUS!!!
