    I finished this quilt top for my grand daughter in early December and was going to quilt it myself then decided not to. It will be going out to be machine quilted. I wish the photos were better. I was hoping for sun today so I could take the picture outside for better images. Well, the sun is here along with the wind so I hads to take the photos indoors (didn't want my quilt top to end up in the next county).

    I knew you would. I had already sandwiched it to do it myself and unpinned it all this morning. I also gave it a good grooming and will repress all the seams before it will go out. The pictures don't do the colors justice.

    You did a beautiful job! I have that panel and fabric but nothing has called to me as far as a pattern. I have been struggling with it. Thanks for the inspiration! I play guitar and love mermaids so when the line came out I indulged.
