I picked up my Checkerboards and Dresdens quilt from the long armer yesterday. I'm so pleased with the quilting! She listened and did exactly what I wanted, and it looks great.
I asked for a variation on continuous curves in the checkerboards that makes kind of a diamond star with a deep curve. I showed her a drawing of it, and she nailed it. She uses a Stattler Stitcher (computer guided) and it came out perfect.
I couldn't be happier with the way the quilting turned out!
Now to get it trimmed, bound, labeled, sleeve added and photographed by the Dec. 6 deadline to enter it in the spring Paducah AQS show.
Linking up with Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Alycia Quilts, and Wendy's Quilts and More
So pretty. I love the simplicity and complexity.

ReplyDeleteYou had a wonderful vision for the quilting, and it totally paid off! I love that curved design. Are the small squares also ditch stitched, or is that effect just from the curves in the light squares?
