Joan sent me this quilt and trusted me to quilt it however I wanted.

:thumbup:

I decided a leaf feather border. In the sashing I put some falling type leaves that kind of remind me of a civil war era type design ( this isn't civil war..but suits the design) and then to make everything unified..I stippled in all the white background blocks....I had toyed with doing a different design in each one but thought ..that isn't really the feeling of the quilt. IN each block I just did some light block work..in one of the blocks I did get a bit "fun" (would be easy to change if the owner doesn't like)...it but I thought it was cute. The basket block ..I put a different flower in each little HST.

I quilted this freehand on my INNOVA. NO pantogrpah or computer quilting...such a GEM of a quilt! Great piecing..great gal to work with...Love the comfort of this quilt!

Oh and the pieced backing..I love pieced backings..like having two quilts in one!

Oh wow I love this quilt and your quilting enhances each block. Very nice by both of you

Your quilting complimented her piecing.

You do such inspiring work.

Thank you for sharing your gift.

Blessings,
Sandi

Nice job. I especially like the basket and the sail boat block quilting! Whooo hoo!

Beautiful piecing and beautiful quilting

I don't know about everyone else but I would absolutely LOVE to see a close up of every block! You really did a fantastic job complimenting Joan's piecing on the blocks you did show closeups of. Overall I can't imagine her not being thrilled with the finished product.

Charisma, you really enhanced each block with your wonderful quilting!!!!!!!!!
Great job to both of you. Gorgeous quilt!!! :D:D
