I am sorry to report that I did have it quilted... and the quilter ruined the quilt. Not only did she use the wrong color thread. I asked her to do white feathers in the white strips but she used a variagated thread. The feathers did not stay in the strips. Even my non quilter/sewing friends can see the loose threads/tensions.
The saddest part is that the lady is the owner of the local quilt shop.
