Thank you all for the nice comments <blush> I was pleased with the outcome.
aashley333 - It is absolutely gorgeous fabric ... just not my style and when she gave it to me I knew whatever I made from it would be for her. Just a heads up - I had dreadful tension problems on the heavily gilded fabric. So in retrospect I should have upped the needle size or used a different style needle. I did this (obviously) on the longarm. If I were to use this fabric on my domestic for quilting, I would switch maybe to a topstitch needle. I have some pieces left and am thinking about maybe table runners lol.
