I finally finished this quilt for my 3 year old granddaughter Emma! It is not perfect. Many mistakes but it was made with love. First quilt I have done in 3 years. Also I tried a quilting technique called edge to edge quilting on your embroidery machine by Amelie Scott Designs.

Your quilt is very pretty. I know your granddaughter, Emma, will think it is very special - especially since it was made with love by "Grandma."

Beautifully done, Cindy! Your granddaughter will love this. You have created a wonderful heirloom she will cherish forever....How did you like the edge-to-edge quilting technique compared to traditionally quilting? Looks more like it could have been done on a long-arm machine...I am still pondering edge-to-edge over traditional in my mind.

The edge to edge quilting has cool designs but it is challenging and involves lots of hooping and alignment work.

It is beautiful. When I first started quilting, I had an instructor in a class that I took that said "If you can't see the mistake, it doesn't matter" as she was swinging the quilt block back and forth! No one notices. You have a quilt that your granddaughter will cherish for years.

Thank you. I know I am such a perfectionist and my own worst critic

It is a beautiful quilt. Only machines create perfect patterns. Little mistakes here and there just prove that a lot of love and effort went into the quilt by the creator.

Love it! I enjoy seeing quilting and ME used together. My fondest memories is of a quilt my great-aunt made when I was a child. I'm sure she'll cheris it and will be in her memories as an adult too.

Thank you! I remember the quilt my grandmother started and my mom finished and gave it to me for my Wedding.
My mom made quilts for all her grandchildren, of which are mine. They still have them.
