I will admit when I looked at first picture I didn’t like it (sorry). I’m glad I looked at the rest because they changed my thinking. The quilting really did wonders, I can hardly believe it’s the same block! I do hope you bring home first place and please let us know when you do!

Thank you! I learned by watching YouTube, a few classes and trial & error...
When I first started quilting, I sent out a couple of quilts to some very highly-recommended longarmers. The first one took 11 months and the second (a 31" x 31" wall hanging) still wasn't back after 17 months. I told the second one I wanted it back finished or not. She asked for one more week and finished it. I didn't even like the quilting that they put on it, and I redid some of it on my domestic machine.
I decided to learn how to do the quilting myself. I eventually bought a sitdown machine with a 16" harp. That helped alot. I've been at it for about ten years. I actually hate the quilting part, but I'm getting better every year.
