What a great idea--and of course, beautiful quilting from you, as always! I love it. Maybe I can try something like this. The backing would have to have an easy pattern for me to copy, though. But it sure would give me good practice. Thanks for sharing.

Hurricanes!!!! I am originally from the great state of Florida. When the wind blows at 125 mph, it blows against the doot ---thus shuuting it even tighter.

I love this! Personally, I get a little tired of the feathers and stippling sometimes, love this as something "new". Now I know what to do with all those pasiley prints I've been hoarding!! Very nice work, Charismah!

I don't understand why you would want to quilt from the back but it's gorgeous. Love the colors; and, for the person who asked about doing a quilt in blue and brown, here's an example.

I was wondering this also.

Actually in the future I would sew a strip of fabric to the top and bottom because there is no way to get right to the edge. :thumbup:

Thanks, Dayna

I did cross over some lines..it would be impossible not to...why is it a no no? I know that we try not to in some cases such as stipple and meandering...but I find that I have to in many cases such as loops, feathers, flowers....I mean we cross over lines all the time...so I just tried to keep everything as consistent and smooth as I could...it actually wasn't all that easy....I can see all of my flaws..but today ( a day later) it looks great..and I don't notice them much.
