Here are is the quilt I got from UrGodsChild2! She did some cute little hearts on the front, and pink on the back for my little girl!

I agree! Very sweet!
Now here is the quilt I sent Nancy in Louisiana ... that very sweet lady claims that she liked it.

Looks like an ordinary striped quilt, no?
What you can't see is the quilting ... which was done in variegated thread ...
Here's the back ...

(mumble, mumble, the woman has no patience, mumble ....) Well I was just about to load my camera card into the computer to show y'all Krystyna's quilt, but she beat me to it. I was waiting for a sunny day to show it off to its best advantage -- and to-dah! today we finally have sun!
But let me tell you about the quilt ... it's GORGEOUS!! The colors remind me of our trip to Hawaii; the blues and purples swirled with greens and a touch of bright yellow. The quilting looks like the ripples on the top of the ocean after a big wave crashed over the lava rocks in front of where we stayed. Now the strips ... she made some of the skinniest strips I've ever seen -- we're talking millimeters here. I don't know how she did it, but that's our Krystyna. There is A LOT of labor (and a lot of threadwork) in this little gem, and I'm proud to be the owner. Thanks, again, Krystyna.

Oooo! Nancy, I would love it if you could send me a photo of the stitching on the front. It was so hard to capture without the right light. And there is never the right light in this apartment. Sorry to have jumped the gun.

Krystyna did you hand quilt it? It's really pretty! I love the color of the binding! And the back is awesome!!
Thanks for the encouragement by the way! I'll be back in April to do a doll swap! This month is really really busy for me! Not sure how much sewing I'll get done! Ladies on here have been helping me so much so it should be better next time!
Love Ya Gals!
