I did this quilt top as well as another with Australian fabrics. I am quilting the Aussie quilt on my machine but it is taking a long time so I had this one quilted. My LQS has a long arm in the shop and a lady who is learning to use it available to quilt. She and I custom designed each block and I was with her as she quilted. I finished binding it this morning. This is the first top I've made but the second I've had quilted. I call it "Garden Sampler" because it has flowers which represent the different houses I have lived in over the years; morning glory for California, fireweed for Alaska, rose for Idaho, Banksia for Australia, sunflower for Kansas.

    You've done a wonderful job on your quilt and the quilting is beautiful.

    That's a beauty of a quilt! I love the fact that it was a learning experience for you, but more importantly that you incorporated your life journey so far, in fabric!

    Wonderful idea - wonderful memories!
