    First thing that came into my mind when I saw the quilt was "Pretty in Pink". :-)

    I made and quilted a pink and white log cabin quilt and I stitched in the ditch the pink areas and feathered the white. Under the topic: "The Floral Log Cabin I made for my Aunt Ruby". You could check out some of Charisma's quilts she has quilted for people and get some of her ideas for the flying geese.

    Your quilt is just beautiful and I love it. I love the flying geese flying around. I think the name Pretty in Pink like some of the other ladies have already mention would be a really good name for your quilt. Great job! :)

    Maybe it's because it's Friday night, but when I saw the flying geese, I immediately saw Cosmopolitan glasses... so, just to be different, how about Pink Cosmo... Whatever you call it, it's lovely.

    Pink Perfection

    There are 3 basic ways to scollop a quilt edge, that I know of. All 3 take planning, marking in advance.
    1. The easiest, IMHO is to plan on an "envelope" or "birthed" quilt. Put down your batting then backing, then add your top, face down. Pin the edges very well. Mark, sew (except for enough space to turn it right side out) and clip. You will need to clip your curves and any sharp angles you decide to have. Sew up the opening by hand then baste and quilt.
    2. The second happens after you quilt your piece. Mark and cut your scollops. Sew on BIAS binging, and finish normally.
    3. The third, which I have seen on antique quilts is a sort of combination. You sandwich and quilt the whole thing, then add an edging, face down on the top. This edging should be at least 2-4" wider than your planned scollop. You then clip it, and turn the edge right side out and hem that strip to the backing.

    On all 3, I think it is a good idea to go back and quilt along the scolloped edge.

    If you want a different scollop or don't want to use a standard one, get a strip of paper the length of your fabric. (The person I saw used a wide adding machine tape). Fold it into as many pieces as you want scollops. Mark and cut this template, remembering to add seam allowance.
