The hand embroidery was murder for my carpal tunnel syndrome.
I did all of the quilting free motion on my domestic machine. It's the first time I've done feathers and echo quilting.
I am super excited about this one!
There was a spot on the quilt for a LQS punch card. I decided to copy my favorite LQS' punch card and put it onto my quilt.
I had gotten enough fabric for the back of the quilt, but I didn't take into account the directionality. To have the back fabric going the correct direction, I did some patchwork and put my label in an odd place on the back.
Thanks for looking!

Really Beautiful quilt.....I think it is well worth losing "regular" status. If you don't have anything special to do with it, it would look REALLY well on my sewing room wall. How long did it take you to make?
