211079I too like to quilt, top stitch, following the top design, it gives a 'lighter' feel and is more airy. Great Job, you stitched the blocks on top of the base material? not sewed pieces together to form blocks then assemble, good idea!

6788I too have embarked on a quilt of love for someone, but had to move the sewing machine to an area that had more room and was so hot a few times had to get my husband to bring me a drink...was sewing fleece in SEP in Louisiana...it was great the satifaction I get everytime I see him under it made the aching muscles and strained eyes worth it.

62461Carolyn, You have a done fantastic job. As a quilter a few of those sashing strips look very wide (but it is hard to tell in a picture). If you place your hand down with fingers spread onto one of those areas and your hand stays only in that un-quilted area, you might want to rethink about making one or two running stitches in the larger areas. After a number of washing's the batting begins to shift in large areas that have not been quilted. Check your instructions on the batting bag/container to see what their recommendation is. Love that wedding ring quilt under it too. cj

12667This is so adorable - how could you do it in two days only? You must be a wizard or quilting fairy? I never have done a quilt so far; therefore, I am not the person to know about time required but I sew and embroider for long years and know how difficult it sometimes is. Congratulations to your children for getting this lovely present and for having such an ex-
perienced mom (in law). Maria

89895I can see the 2 days long into putting together here. Also see many days of designs choice and making before hand. You have done a wonderful job making and sharing. I wish my king would have been done this way. The cutting of squares and snip,snip,snip, snip and other things going on has mine starring at me. I will get it done. I hate on going projects.The red neck phrase Get er done is a good line to follow. :) & hugs from my ♥
