I totally agree with what she said, amazing.
When I first saw the top, I thought it was just a mish-mash of unrelated shapes. But seeing what you have done with the quilting - wow! It is transformed. You've illuminated the shapes that were there (that I couldn't see) and added more interest as well. Absolutely wonderful! Now you have to show us the whole quilt -- please!

Cant believe i missed this first time..thanks for bringing it to our attention. Your fmq is gorgeous and thank you for sharing how you achieve the beautiful quilting that you do. I also will be looking for that book that you recommended.

What a lovely quilt, BUT it was so busy - couldn't really see the pattern, just a bunch of little pieces. BUT, the quilting changed the whole thing to something beautiful. That shows what quilting can do to a quilt, if it is planned and organized. I have an old book that is titled, "The Quilting Makes the Quilt" and that is so true in this one. Congratulations.
