It looks gorgeous!! When we were at the beach, all the quilts on the beds were hand made and hand quilted, and I was in awe as I am now with your quilt!<br /><br />I did check out that link for the quilt-a-long, and it looks really cool, I definitly may check it out, I love finding new free motion ways to quilt, I love my new swirl pattern I was working on, but always am looking for something new!<br /><br />As for my quilt-a-long, I think it was over a few months ago, I just happened to stumble upon jaybirdquilts.com and found all the posts for the quilt-a-long, so I just used her posts and did it at my own pace. <br /><br />I am super excited to work on the baby quilt, those are definitly my favorite I found this adoreable blue/green/yellow whale print fabric that I ordered to use as the main print, and I cant wait until it gets here to start working on it!Jessica Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093817427610204489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8441102595754363112.post-66923714353509934112010-08-17T10:30:09.801-05:002010-08-17T10:30:09.801-05:00It looks great!

The "limited" quilting in the swags is perfect :) It is a classic work of art in the traditional style that WILL be appreciated by all those machine quilters in the future too :) You are an awesome, skillful (and persistent) needleworker! I love it!

NOW i have like 6 zip lock bags of cut off triangles of the mutted colors like thimbleberries, do you want them they would probably square to 2 1/2 squares.<br />luv ya<br />jodieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
