I absolutely love the colors. Great idea about adding other than purples so the quilt belongs to both of them :).
Isn't EQ amazing!

Beautiful quilt! I wish I had that computer program - maybe for Christmas. I love the piano key borders as well!

I saw Marti Michell and her quilted-in-sections quilts at Puyallup. I was really intrigued, so I bought her book Machine Quilting in Sections - http://www.amazon.com/MARTI-MICHELL-...1410296&sr=8-1

This book explains a number of ways of breaking a quilt into pieces so that you can handle the quilting with the sewing machine. I've tried several of these methods, and I will continue quilting in sections until I can convince DH that I really need a longarm. (That means I will be quilting in sections for a very long time!)

I don't think that quilting in sections is what most people mean by quilt as you go. Usually QAYG is done with smaller pieces, but the techniques are probably very similar. When I quilt in sections, I may break a queen quilt into only 3 or 4 pieces. One of the things the book teaches is how to look at a quilt design and decide what method would work best for it.

I went on line and you tube has some great instructions. Just type in www.youtube.com then in the search area, type in Quilt as you Go.
Hope this helps.

I really love this- my favorite is the scrappy look and yours is so pulled together. Gorgeous.
