Large Border Treatment (Finished w/Pics)


Finally I'm finished!
Free hand quilting in the main star, and SID all about. The stars in the white area were quilted using the Circle Lord Starz template.
I used the Gadget Girls Shells and Swirls Ruler template to set up a line to divide the wide borders. More ruler work with the piano keys, and freehand feathers. The quilt was turned to finish the borders, with the feathers running around the four sides. The gold backing shows each and every bobble in the quilting, but has a nice graphic feel to it.
I'm sure the recipient will love this quilt.

The Ocean Quilt

Rita made this quilt for #2 Son to commemorate his going to BYU. #2 Son is an avid surfer, and the fabrics Rita used reflect that. The colors are beautiful; the photos don't really do them justice.
