Wow! I am really impressed. I often wondered how you professional quilters come up with your ideas because great quilting like this makes the quilt. Thank you for sharing!

The difference between the unquilted and the quilted is like night and day. It's beautiful

Wow!, Now that is a great example of how quilting makes the quilt. I am drooling I need to take the time to learn to do it.

Thank you for showing this and explaining. I would have never thought or saw that "heart design" you started with. I guess that is why I am a piecer and not a quilter. This is beautiful!

I didn't care to much for it before it was quilted, but you made it gorgeous.

I am a hand quilter and one of the reasons I don't care for most machine quilting is that is tends to go all over and make the blocks disappear. As a hand quilter, I try to bring the blocks to life and compliment their design with the motifs I quilt within them. What a breath of fresh air to see a machine quilter who does the same and breathes life into the pieced blocks instead of working a design all over them making them run together. Thanks for sharing your tute. It is also helpful for me as a hand quilter.
