    Can't believe that is your first quilt. You did a super job. I read all of Susan's books.

    Wow!!!, I think a thin red piping would look great. I commend you for hand quilting, it looks great to me.
    After you wash it, you will never know there are any puckers. Congratulations.

    It's a fantastic quilt! You did sooo good!
    And just love the idea of red piping zipping around the outer edge.
    Oh, yeah, and the puckers? I crave them, so to each their own.

    Oh my goodness - you are putting me to shame. I am still working on my first quilts and I would never think of hand-quilting. You are very talented. Red would be really pretty for a binding. I would love to see a picture of the finished product.

    I did miter the corners! Thank you for noticing. That's so nice!

    Very nice and colorful. I think some red piping would set it off but whatever you are comfortable with will be just as fine.
    Keep up the good work.

    She's wonderful, isn't she? I'm so lucky to work for her. Right now, I'm reading one of next year's Fool's Gold books. It's GREAT!
