Man, this is a lot of work. I can hardly comprehend that someone does a really elaborate quilting job and says, "It took me 20 hours!" like that is too long.

I'm on the last row of blocks though! But that doesn't count since I have to go back and do the side arcs and the side borders. I am stitching down along the edge as I go so it's stabalized. Ordered a 20" Boomerang to do curved cross hatching and tracking says delivery on Saturday, yesterday. The only problem is that I had it sent to my work, which is closed.

I think I might name this "Leather and Lace." That is very appropriate for my daughter too. The pattern is called Faceted Jewels.

Well.... At least you have a nice quilting machine to do ALL of it on... Some of us really struggle with our domestic machines. The quilting looks great and the color combination is perfect for it's name.

It looks fabulous. There are a few quilts I will tell you it took over 30 hours on the longarm. But then I just like to quilt
