I can feel why you will keep this one, beautiful! The colors are jewel like and reminds me of a woven rug. Very lovely, you do beautiful work

Actually, I send it to a store in Iowa (family business) and they have it hand quilted. They are backed up right now, so it could a couple months before it's done.

It's stunning even before quilting....definitely a keeper or for someone very special. A beauty indeed.

Thanks for the reply - I thought they were always long arm quilted when sending the quilt out to be quilted. Learn something new every day! Enjoy your beautiful quilt when you get it back.

As far as the light rectangles and squares, and the sashing goes, I'm open to suggestions. This will be hand quilted.
I did expand the quilt and turned it sideways (approx. 96x110)

This is beautiful. Is there a pattern somewhere for this or is this something you put together yourself. I would love to copy it, but have no idea where to start. Is it okay to copy it? I know crazy questions, but I don't know, haven't done this long enough for one thing, not good for another, and I really hate to step on anyones toes.
