This quilt was started as a group project in a beach house in North

Carolina
and finished with snowflakes flying here in PA. During the course of
putting the quilt together, I used three machines...a small, new Babylock
Xscape, my old Singer, and then the Quest when it arrived! I couldn't

have
machine quilted it without the new, wider-harp Quest. It's the largest
quilt I've ever done! I also tried out the memory function and the fancy
stitches for the label.
It will go to it's new home in NJ soon. I promised it to my son when he
graduated last May with his MBA. I'm sort of lost now that it's
finished....I'm thinking maybe I should make a couple pillow shams to

match
now.

Polly,
I hadn't thought about the pillow cases....that's a great idea! Thanks.

Oh my goodness, Alice, that quilt has a very bad effect on me - it says
'what are you doing up when you could come snuggle under here?' Probably
I'm just tired and chilly but that beautiful creation does look very
welcoming. I think doing pillow shams or pillows or just bordering pillow
cases is a fine idea. Great job, Alice. I love it. Polly

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I made a black and white block
today for my Guild meeting this weekend....I really do feel lost without
the blue and white quilt to work on. It has consumed my free time for
quite awhile! Two of my friends made a smaller version in red
toile....they were gorgeous!

I'm a purple and green kinda gal, but those blues are absolutely
gorgeous! Great job there- and the recipient is one lucky guy.

I may crawl under this quilt today (just to try it out), as it's been
snowing since early this morning. Fortunately, it's not accumulating
much...the grass is still poking through. But, it did motivate me and my DH
to put up the Christmas tree!!
