T sent me this quilt ..she is using at her and her DH's wedding Vow renewal in a couple weeks...
AWE!! How sweet is that?
So she wanted it quilted with metallic threads....I had a hard time getting just the right metallic...LOL..I used Superiors silver in the colored fabrics...as it is a bit more hearty and didn't give me any troubles..and then I used a thinner green metallic in the white areas..that did give me some trouble...superior metallic threads only..is my new motto!
Anyway..it is a beautiful quilt..I chose to feather the borders...loops in the white sashing..and block work in the HST's.
I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA...used Hobbs POlydown batting . No computer or pantograph work...all freehand...
Thanks for looking!

That is absolutely gorgeous !!!!! I wish you lived close to me. I love your quilting. Shipping to and from Wa. would cost more than buying a finished quilt. LOL
There are not many LAQ's in my area that I know of (1 in fact)
Keep up the beautiful work.
