Thank you for taking a look.

    you're right. I'm not sure if I would have picked those fabrics, but the quilt has turned out great. I have learned over the years that if the colors that you pick don't look good together it is sure to make a beautiful quilt.

    like the colors and quilting....question: is your quilting done on a computerized longarm? or did you hand-guide...I like the designs

    I have a computerized Gammill Statler. I do hand guide for fillers when the quilt calls for it but I also enjoy using the computer. I never realized when I first got my Statler that I would be turning Off the computer.... but I can't tell you how many times I do... for the stitch in the ditch on this quilt... that is hand guided... because I can do it myself faster then the computer can.

    I love it, so feminine and pretty. The taupe border is perfect, as they say, sometimes less is better.
