    Default Words of love and wisdom- my green Dutchmans Puzzle quilt
    This twin size quilt I made for my DD, who asked for a green quilt. She even chose the pattern and wanted just a little quilting with loops and hearts to have the quilt as fluffy as possible. It ended in quite poor quilting, though, but I tried to make it up with the quilting in the outer border. With my domestic machine I quilted a quote which reads in my translation: "The most important hour is always the present, the most important person is always the one in front of you and the most important thing is always love". What do you think about it?
    Thank you for looking!

    That is a beautiful symphony of greens, which is my favorite color. Like the airy quilting and I'd say it is a very well done job.

    Cool. I like the quote. Great work, no matter what you think. Sometimes we are our own quilting police.
