“O Thou who art the all pervading glory of the world, we bless Thee for the power of beauty to gladden our hearts.
We praise Thee that even the least of us may feel a thrill of the creative joy when we give form and substance to our thoughts and, beholding our handiwork, find it good and fair. “.

"Come, and listen, all you who fear God; let me tell you what He has done for me.
I cried out to Him with my mouth; His praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart, the LORD woud not have listened and heard my voice in prayer.
Praise be to God, Who has not rejected my prayer or withheld His love from me!" Psalm 66:16-20

Now I remember......

.......why I don't do ruffles......or prairie points, which I love.

You can't quilt to the edges, and while on a hand-quilted project, you can quilt pretty close to the edge and then leave the thread hanging for finishing later, what do you do on machine-quilting. 

This quilt is so little that most all the lines of quilting were going to go to the edges !  
Hmmmmmmmm........gonna have to figure on this awhile.









Atleast I got my batting pieced, my "backing"made (that's a secret to be revealed later),

and the little thing basted..........













with help, of course !

    So what does it matter if you just quilt as close as you can get?? I have done a quilt with Prairie Points and didn't think twice about the stippling. I guess I don't understand the problem. Love the colors!
