    Default For my dearest sister
    I waited patiently but I knew my sister with the B&B would someday ask me to make quilts for her. YES! This one is going to be a king size for their bed and have a 10 inch border on 3 sides only. I'm going to have to quilt it sideways without the bottom border so it will fit on my long arm. I'll add it afterwards. It's going to finish at 120 by110. She saw a quilt in LLBean but the colours were too pale. With a telephone conference call we sat in front of our computers and looked at colours from different websites. Used the EQ6 to rough out fabric estimates etc. The rest is history.
    Haven't decided on a quilting motif yet, Rustic or elegant. It's a pretty strong statement as it is.

    I would go with elegant quilting. It has a rustic elegance to it already. You could do either one on the top then the other on the border.
