I don't know if any of you remember this top I made quite a while back
It has been sitting in a bag wondering if I had forgotten it.
Today it headed out on a trip to see someone who will tender work on it until it becomes a real Quilt!
I sent it to one of my followers who also does long arm quilting for NON-show quilts. After all, I am going to put this on the bed and use it so that is what I want!
Joanne has a blog (or two) one is Insanely Cheap Quilting And the other is her personal blog, Splitting Stitches. So when I get this quilt back in my hot little hands, I am going to tell you how Joanne did on my quilt. (How is that for putting on some pressure?)
If you are wondering, I made up the pattern for this quilt. It is really pretty easy to do, but I wanted to use the FQs and Jelly Roll of fabric so it was all matchy matchy. I downloaded the fabric swatch images and put it in EQ. Here is how it looked on my computer screen.
Okay, so I didn't use exactly all the fabrics, but I did stick with the COLORS so it is really close. Ha, I can't even follow my own pattern exactly!
Yep, I am waiting to see what Joanne does with this. I am thinking an overall meander --maybe I could do it myself, but I really REALLY didn't want to wrestle this queen sized quilt thru my domestic machine!

LOVE THAT TOP. I'am also thinking of having her do a top for me. Looks like she does beautiful work. I'll stop by and see how it looks when it's finished. I bet, "fabulous".
Oh, I love it when a quilt gets quilted. Love your colors and design. I'm big into 'matchy-matchy,' even with the back. Can't wait to see it when it gets back.
WOW, Gene....that quilt top is great. I love the layout and the colors you chose. Can't wait to see it quilted......oh and thanks for link to your friend........I'm popping over and saving her blog addy.
I remember that quilt and am sure it will come back being very snuggly for you!

That's a nice design. And if the designer can't take liberties with his design, who can?
