I loved strip piecing this quilt, it went together fast..can't say the same about quilting it though, although I did enjoy using the variegated thread for quilting for the first time. It is a surprise, she has no clue that I am making a quilt for her, and she is coming over this year for Christmas, I can't wait for her to get it.

Thanks for looking all, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!

You have done a beautiful job. She will love it. May I ask how did you quilt it? Did you hand quilt it or did you do it with a regular machine? Or longarm?
