Nice job! Love the fabrics in this quilt!

Thanks! I've made several quilts since then, but they were all charity quilts (Quilts for Kids, etc.), and of course lots of tops waiting to be quilted. I just got a machine that can handle quilting larger quilts, so I'll be finishing those up and sharing them soon, I hope.

Very nice! Was it hard working with the minkee? I love that fabric, but it looks hard to work with....... Michele

What a fabulous quilt! The fabric goes so nicely with the pattern. Has the fabric "grown on" you? I do the same thing. I buy a bunch of fabric while caught up in the moment & then later wonder what I was thinking about. I hope my "oops" purchases turn out half as beautiful as this one of yours did!

Thanks! The minkee was a little hard to work with, but I follow a no-fear quilting philosophy- it's just fabric, and I refuse to be afraid of it ;). I have a few uneven spots on the back where it shifted as I was quilting, I would have shown these but they didn't really show up in the photo.

As far as the fabric growing on me- I bought it because I like the "softness" of the colors (if that makes sense), if not the palette, and also I liked the prints. It doesn't really fit my style, and I would have given it away, but I needed something to "personalize" my office when I got my promotion, and grabbed this quilt off the shelf. I'd say it has grown on me, because I haven't replaced it yet!

nice job!!!!

Nice job, keep up the good work! Glad you went back and got it done.

off to a whole bunch of pretty quilts

Have you ever tried the temp spray adhesive? It works wonders for avoiding shifting on the front or backside as you are quilting. I use it now for most of my quilting, FM or SITD, and it makes it so much easier to be sure of the results. I have never used, or don't even think I know what Minkee is. But my suggestion is to try the temp adhesive spray and see the difference

Wow you did a great job looks so very beautiful.
