Can you just imagine how beautiful such a quilt will be when it is finished?!?! I can easily see why yoiu would be inspired to stay up until the wee hoiurs of the morning!
Can you imagine a quilt like that done in silks and velvets? Then spend the rest of your life doing the embroidery and fancy stitches!!!

But yes I can definitely see where you are coming from, I love the art quilts with lots of embellishments and fancy stitches, I have a Janome 9000 which has lots of different stitches and embroidery which I haven't fully explored yet so if anybody has the same machine, maybe we could set up online tutorials to get me started - anybody out there willing????? :D

Oh I can not wait to see this done! I think your idea for the back is just wonderful. Usually by the time I get the top done, I'm ready to slap a big ol' piece of fabric on the back and get to quilting it. :lol: I truly admire those who see the "whole" quilt from top to bottom, front to back, and are willing to put the extra time into making the back as pretty as the front.
Take a bow Izy! :)
