This picture is from Thursday when I brought the quilt top, some backing fabric and a pack of king size cotton batting to my parent's house. With some help from my sister I cleared off the living room floor and layered and basted the quilt sandwich. Yesterday I bought some quilting gloves and today I have started quilting it with a gorgeous shiny army green thread my dear friend Rose got me for Xmas:
Quilting from the top
Quilting from the back
But if you don't hear from me for a while, Bernie and I are quilting!!!!

Oh my goodness -- that is gorgeous!!!
Yeah for you! I'm so happy for you. I realized the other day that if I was just making one quilt, I would very soon have enough blocks to piece the top, but alas, only about half done each one. Your border is perfect for the quilt. Julie

Your quilt is very, very beautiful !!
I hope one day our quilts will meet.
(Today on my web-log my finished Bridal.)
Spectacular! That's all I can say! Wonderful job!
Ahhhh - it is very beautiful. Utrolig lekkert!
Beautiful, wonderful, fabulous quilt and workmanship!!!!!!
Thanks also for sharing the pictures of the quilt shops. Looks like you had a great time.
I'm trying to think of a word that no one else has used... perhaps magnificent! Quilting this on a regular machine also means you get a medal!
Thank you for a terrific blog too!
Super quilt! Absolutely gorgeous! The quilting looks fantastic!
And one more congratulation from me on that gorgeous quilt. You are very brave to machine-quilt such a big top.But it is very good practice. Once you have achieved that, you will be able to machine-quilt anything! Quilt meetings are always wonderful times. Glad you enjoyed yours and brought back so many goodies! Take care.
You are a clever girl - it is absolutely wonderful and the star border is just perfect. Take care of your joints doing that quilting - I know how much it hurts if you overdo it xx
Wow, your SBS is just amazing!! Hope I will get to see it in real life one day. Have fun with the quilting.
Hugs.
I am so impressed with your quilt...and you quilted it too! That is just beautiful.
Your quilt turned out beautiful. I just love those stars around the outside of it.
My oh my, I haven't seen anything as amazing as this in A VERY LONG TIME!
Breathtaking. Literally.
What a wonderful quilt!
Oh how beautiful this is. You have done great work and now here you are quilting on a DSM. I don't know how you do it, it's amazing. Well done.
What a beautiful quilt! I bet your excited to have it finished.
It's gorgeous! Good for you for getting all your blocks done and the border! Congratulations!
What a beautiful quilt. Great job., You are amazing.
What a clever border effect with those stars and it stands out from all the other SBS quilts. Well done!
Absolutely stunning!
oh wow, what a masterpiece, wish I was able to machine quilt like you
WOW!!! - and those half lemoyne stars in the border are the perfect finishing touch
This just rocks! Can't wait to see it finished!

I have to add to the copious praise and say that is the achievement of a lifetime, well done Anne!!
Your Spring Quilt looks great as well, tracey
