Awesome! Fabulous! Thanks for taking the trouble to let all of us in on your progress. You have a real artist's eye to see the possibilty of treating this as a wholecloth.
A little lake to this party. Can't believe I missed it the first time round. Even the beginning quilt was inspirational and then the finished product is unbelievable. True artists -- both of you.
Wow, I'd say Charisma has some competition! The pieced quilt she made is beautiful, but your quilting made it gorgeous. Nothing like a successful mentoring; nice going ladies!
