I have no idea...when she emails me..I will ask her. I will send you a message or post it here....sorry. I can't remember her QB user name either..LOL We correspond through emails now.

Beautiful! I, too, would like to know what the pattern is. And as usual, your quilting is beyond words.

Hi Fabricnut,

The quilt is still really soft and has a nice drape..I used Hobbs poly down batting. You have to lay down a ton of thread for that stuff to become stiff. I think, how densely something is quilted is all very subjective. Some would think this isn't quilted enough and others would think this is densely quilted.

Thanks so much!
