It's not that she wants it hand quilted, it's just that *I* would feel more comfortable hand quilting it if she insisted that I do it. Only because I don't have a lot of experience with long-arm, and...

It was *so* easy! It was a little hard to figure out the layout/dimensions, but after that was done the piecing was easy peasy. I did add a little difficulty to the backing. I pieced the title and...

Night Before Christmas Quilt

My dog approves of my basting job :D

Thanks! My husband wants waves in the quilting. I was just going to do straight-line quilting like I've done with my other bargello quilt, but I guess I can give it a go. I'm debating whether I...

Well, after working for 3 hours or so I've added 10 rows to my bargello quilt, had to rip two that were sewn on backwards. I'm aiming for about 3 more hours of work, so we'll see where that lands me....
