I love the way you incorporated Katulle's reverse silhouette moon into it. Its beautiful and I know some lucky child is going to cherish it.

Thanks,
I love Katulles design and use it often on my baby things and felt it was a good way to say good night which is what the saying in the middle says,

Thank you,
You know that is the best thing about embroidery, you create something that cannot be purchased in any store and is one of a kind

This is so impressive. I'm having trouble believing it's your first quilt -but no doubt at all that you won't be able to stop now. Amazing job. What a star you are. Keeping with their culture was such a thoughtful idea too.

Oh thank you,
I have to admit that this is probably one of the nicest projects I have completed. I was excited throughout the entire project and kept thinking of the children when they see all these quilts. It probably won't be the last. I have been bitten. LOL

Michele, you have done a fantastic job on your first quilt and I bet now it won't be your last. When I first started quilting 15 yrs ago my friend told me then that there is no such thing as a "perfect" quilt. No such thing as quilt police. But, only you know where your mistakes are. Your quilt is awesome. Hugs..Carol

I am a bit of a perfectionist but I allowed myself a few oops on this one. I will learn for my next one.
