OK Here she is. I worked most of the day trying to machine quilt this thing. I thought a nice echo quilting would be fun. I didn't quite plan ahead for the area where the echos would bump into each other. But all in all I'm happy with it. It sure wouldn't take any prizes tho. My hoped for flowing curved lines around the flowers, and loops in the borders, turned out to be a bit more jerky non-circles and uneven echos..... but it is finished! I think I really like the bright purple flowers with the green centers. Livened up the blandness. Trying to machine quilt a baby sized quilt has made me realize that either I should start with very small wallhangings or leave the quilting to professionals. I have heard that practice makes perfect but I'm not sure I will live long enough to practice sufficiently.
Thanks for stopping by. Lynda
