Most beautiful quilt to date!

Wow, I see I need to make a weekly commitment to update my blog. New Year's Resolution?

Well, Alene, your quilt is done. Here are pictures as promised. So far, I have to say, this is the most beautiful quilt I have had the pleasure to long arm to date. Alene did such a good job on the quilt that it stayed square, row after row, without buckling or needing to be stretched in places, or starched to make it shrink. Excellent workmanship indeed! :-)

And here are close ups on the quilting. Alene originally wanted a simple meander, but I persuaded her to go with the swirls instead. In the end, the character the swirls add just complements this stunning quilt.

 

The back is a cream, with the same brown thread that the top was quilted with. This makes the lines stand out a little bit more.

 And another pic. The color is grossly distorted toward the orange with the camera so close, but it really shows the quilting detail, more so that the pictures whose colors are true.
