    Did you use the 'quilt as you go' tehcnique, or just quilt the whole top after blocks were finished? Love the outcome! I'm going to make on a quilt for my great neice and this might be it...

    Hi K,
    I didn't do the QAYG method because I knew if I long armed it it would be faster. :thumbup:

    I love that rainbow binding your going to use. Where did you find that at do you remember? I would love to have a few yards of that. :)
    I got the fabric at my LQS...it is by Blank Quilting...I posted the selvage info in an earlier post.

    Yes that is the problem that many longarmers have, no time for their own. Your quilt is so fun

    This is so bright and cheery, and the design reminds me of mosaic tiles which were so popular during my childhood. The quilting is gorgeous of course, but your choice in binding fabric suits this design to a "T." Awesome job as always.

    Love it! You just gave me an idea. This would be a great way to remember and have a sample of each quilt you've done! I've taken pictures but I've also saved scraps of the actual fabric used. You are one clever gal!
