Have a wonderful day! Patty
Your quilt is gorgeous. Unfortunately I could not participate ... however did end up reading one of the books you refer to "The shell seekers". Congratulations in advance to the winners, wonderful prizes!!!
ReplyDeleteCan the top be machine quilted? Or does it have to be hand quilted? I've linked up my quilt top so I don't forget in case I don't get it quilted by the deadline. Thanks again for a great QAL.
ReplyDeleteYou can quilt the top anyway you want - I machine quilted mine! And you only need a quilt top to enter. Congrats on your beautiful finish.
DeleteOh Patty, that turned fabulous! Your spiral quilting is well spaced and consistent!
ReplyDeleteI did 2 hand piecing tops---one in Christmas and one I call Aqua (and pink color)
ReplyDeleteI got both tops done all borders ect are hand pieced and now am working on hand quilting them--or at least the Christmas is now being hand pieced first, but the Aqua one is all basted and will be next in line--
