mrmquilt Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 You really went all out, I find some of those designs really hard to do and you did them just fine. I'm sure she will be jumping for joy. Great job!!! Michele Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriasews Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Of course, she'll like it! It's a beautiful 1st. I get embarrassed just thinking about the 1st one I did. It didn't begin to compare with the work you've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IBQLTN2 Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Coleen Congratulations, you just made it into a whole new dimension of quilting. That is a great job and I am sure that the customer will be thrilled with her beautiful quilt. Can't wait for her to pick it up and you see the look of awe on her face when she sees it. You did great! I am still quilting only for myself and that is what I do, so far. the thought of doing something for someone else scares me. You are very brave.

RitaR Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 WOW Coleen, That is one terrific job. I'd have gone bonkers doing all the diff borders but it sure set that quilt off. Am sure your customer will either love it,or is totally crazy. Beautiful job. ritaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Thank you all for the very nice comments. I showed it to the owner of one of the local shops. She wasn't crazy about the quilt itself but she did like the quilting. Hopefully, I'll get one of her class samples to do. She told me to get my name out there and she thought I'd do well. Heidi, I can thank CL for the diamonz. One of the lessons learned was on the CL, learning how to land designs exactly where I wanted them. Again, Thank you all for your kindness. This is such a great group! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go and you are certainly on a roll now. Your customer is going to love it!!! Renae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawaii Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Colleen, What a wonderful job of quilting!!! Can you tell us exactly what CL Templates you used to do this quilt? I just live your borders!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmoore1223 Posted February 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 The squiggle in the red border is on the Ropes board and the diamond on the light blue border is from the Diamonz template. The large blue border is (I think) piano key done with a ruler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
