Good Morning, Well it is cold here in Nebraska and I just finished a quilt for a Christmas gift. Hoping that my SIL can fit it into her quilting schedule. My daughter sent me her favorite music quotes and I had sewnsewer2 embroider them for me. I will never use Kona black again. Raveled something terrible. I have just a yard left so will use it up on something mundane! LOL! Hope you enjoy it and constructive critiques welcome. Every quilt is a learning process and this uneven layout was out of my comfort zone for sure. But she is done.

creative quilt - great when the ideas come together (without a pattern)!

Good morning Dakotamaid. It is cold here too. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful! I love your piano key border. It is perfect for this quilt! Your DD is a very lucky young woman.

BTW I know what you mean about the Kona cotton fraying. It seems like it is a slightly looser weave than some others. When I had to use it, I decided to cut my strips just slightly off the true grain. It helped a bit.

Awesome quilt. I too love that piano key border. Hmmm, I haven't had trouble with Kona but I am a prewasher so I wonder if the prewashing shrinks it up a bit and tightens that weave? I found the Kona to be less reavely than Moda Bella Solids. I think it has a slightly heavier hand too but I use them both interchangebly.
