    Very elegant. The use of machine embroidery and then hand quilting is an excellent use of your array of skills.

    Really lovely work!! Did you use a variegated thread on the embroidery?

    Very, very nice. The largest quilt I've ever made is 120" x 108". It was quilted by the end of January and is still awaiting binding!
