Quilty Goodness

You may remember that several months ago I took a quilting class. Today I got my quilted quilt back from the quilters. I'm in love...

Yes, I sent it away to be quilted. Someday, when I have more time and patience (yes, that day will come) I will hand quilt my own quilt. But for this first one, I just wanted it done and done well.

I did an "art back" of my own design. John said, "Is it supposed to look like that?" Yes, it's supposed to look like that. It's an art back. The class instructor got it.

The woman who did the quilting (on a long-arm machine) did a great job. I just asked for something fun, but not flowery, and this is what she came up with...

Swirly, whirly, fun and fabulous. Now, I just have to find those instructions for doing the binding. And teh courage to tackle that task!
