    I finished a 22 hour marathon of quilting and binding over a 2 day period to finish my niece's graduation quilt. The pictures show the finished top, the finished back and a close-up of the back. I was lucky enough to find the perfect 108" backing fabric at JoAnn's. The quilting was done on a Grace frame with a Pfaff Grandquilter 9" machine and my new Qbot. The spiral design is my own. The others are standard designs with the Qbot. It took about 15 mins. to quilt out each row of the spiral pattern. I still need some remedial training on my bindings. But I'm pleased with the outcome. And my niece was thrilled.

    Very, very nice! Great quilting! Great colors, she is going to love it! When you say the spiral design is your own, did you manually quilt it yourself, or program it into the Qbot?
