I am a fairly new quilter. Started quilting to make a quilt for my daughter that includes her 12-years in dance school. It is coming out great!!! Reading all of your suggestions on basting is great. I had no idea how to do it - so I placed all three layers on the rug (didn't attach to rug) and used large safety pins. It took awhile, but now I am hand quilting it. Thanx for all your suggestions.

Welcome to the board. Congratulations on your success with the quilt. I've just made small projects, so far.
Can you post a pic?

Welcome to the board. Your quilt sounds intreging can't wait to see a pic. Hope you post a pic on our picture page

Thank you for your interest in my quilt. I have attached two pics. Sandy

Sandt, What a wonderful tribute to your daughter. The quilt is gorgous and the pic of your daughter are great. How proud you must be of her accomplishment. I hopre she is as proude of this quilt.

The hand quilting is very nice I can't even begin to keep my stiches so uniform

I love the colors! It is so bright and cheerful, and the handwork is really nice. I agree about the evenness of the stitches. Nice job!

oooooh. Beautiful Daughter, beautiful stitching, beautiful colors, thus, a beautiful quilt.
I LOVE all the bright BRIGHT colors offset with the black! I appreciate you sharing the pics with us!!!!!!!!!
gorgeous!

This is very pretty. I love your color choice!

Thank you all very much. This is a treasure for me and my daughter. She is in college now, and she actually had to write a paper for her English class about an artist -- and she picked me and our quilt! The paper told everything she felt about the quilt - it means more to her than I could ever imagine it would. I just can't wait to finish it. I will need some tips on binding when I get there. Can anyone offer suggestions? Thank you very much!!!!
