What are your feelings about cotton vs poly battings? Just curious, certainly not at all critical, as your quilting is absolutely marvelous.

I never could conceive of such a beautiful design, let alone just draw (or sew) it out with nothing to follow. Kudos to you! You are an artist extraordinaire!
Sue - your quilt is beautiful, the colors are so wonderful! Nice work.

I don't typically draw out my designs..they are all freehand. This quilt I just quilted. Sometimes if I have to put down wording or something I will use my chalk pencil ..just to make sure it fits and I spelled everything correctly....or if I think I am going to struggle with a specific shape. But usually I just quilt.
Thanks alot!

Charismah, that is beautiful!
I'm a new quilter (that is, I'm not very good at it yet, certainly not nearly as good as these Quilting Board members!)
I have a few questions for you: How much do you charge to long arm quilts? About how much time is your turn-around?
And, if I send you a quilt that is not exactly perfect, can you quilt it anyway?
Thanks.
