Your quilt is wonderful. Have been admiring this collection of CT fabrics for several months but haven't taken the plunge yet. The soft apricot seems to gently warm the pink and white fabrics.

The pic shows peach colors which are comforting for a bedroom. Love the stars.

Many have asked how I "tied" my quilt. If you look in the center of the picture, you can see a stitched flower. My machine, a Babylock Esante, has decorative stitches where you can pick one repeat of the design or a line of them. I set it to one repeat and made a flower every 4". It's not quite as easy as it sounds. Because the quilt is so big, I had to lock the stitching before and after the flower by stitching in place several stitches and used the autocutter to clip my threads before moving onto the next stitch. Then, after I had done a number of them, I tied together the top threads, wove them into the quilt and then trimmed the tails. On the back, I had about an inch of thread tails. I inserted my self-threading needle into the quilt, fed the tails into the needle, and buried them in the quilt. The tails had already been secured by stitching several times in place before cutting them. I've seen a gadget on Nancy's Notions that looks like a very thin crochet hook. I guess you could use that to bury the tails, too.[ATTACH=CONFIG]483636[/ATTACH]
