A beautiful quilt! I like the way that you did the back as well.

That is outstanding. Just beautiful.
I'd also like to know how you did the label.

Thank you all for the very kind comments !

Yes, I truly do appreciate the kind generosity so commonly shared here on the QB. This is only the second quilt I’ve ever completed (have a few UFO’s already aaarrrgh) and I relied heavily on shared techniques and advice from this board while figuring my way through this ambitious quilt. I could never thank Gay enough for her help but I did tell her that it was my goal to ‘pay it forward’ through the QB as I get better at this craft. Definitely lots of amazing, kind, fellow quilter enthusiasts on here.

For the label - I used the freezer papes method to stabilize my fabric, printed off my HP inkjet printer, and treated the printed fabric with Retayne then pressed with a hot iron in hopes it will not fade. I’ve had to wash the quilt multiple times to get quilters pencil out and the label looks great!

Thank you all, again, for your wonderful comments.

Christine
