This is the quilt I made it took about 9 months to complete among other things.

I have a Janome 11000 Machine. We made a lot of the pieces of lace on the machine a various designs were used throughout the quilt. I have a great Janome dealer and they have a lot of various classes to teach all the aspects of the machines. They are a great couple and certainly give us all the support you possible want. Hope you like the look of it. It fits a double size bed and goes to the floor each side, and I also added a pillow sham on as well.

This is an excellent example of why I say I am NOT a quilter. I'd never have the patience or dedication to make something this georgous. Kudos to you. This quilt is absolutely beautiful, and I love the colors.

Oh my Dixie, in my dreams I couldn't have come up with all the techniques you have in this quilt - how absolutely stunning - if it were a queen size - I would love it in my own room - the color is wonderful. Isn't it wonderful that you have great people to help you learn your craft?

Thank You all for the lovely comments you gave me about me quilt. Yes I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I'm making another quilt in satin for my daughter and another one with large squares using the quilt as you go method, this is certainly going to be much quicker will post them when I finish them, a bit of a way to go yet though
Thanks Again all Dixie

Fantastic!! What a ton of work you have in this. Now you have an heirloom to pass down. I don't think I'll ever tackle a project like this. I'm more into instant gratification.

This quilt is absolutely beautiful. I wish my dealer had these great classes. I have a Janome 11000 also. Just waiting for my update. I am in Australia and it was only released 2 weeks ago. Said I should have it in 2 weeks. Flower 4u

Amazing quilt! I can see why it took 9 months to finish. I can't imagine tackling something like that. I really love it, and I know you had fun, and probably some tears while you were in the process.
What's next?
