Upgrade from Meander

Finally...............  
This is the most quilting I've done on a quilt.  It's been on my machine for a month.  Remember, I also work f/t, so that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

 A few years ago, this might have been considered show quilting.  Not anymore.  If it's not quilted within a 1/4" of each seam, then there's not enough quilting.  I've also been reading that the standard for show quilts now is two layers of batting.

 I don't quilt for show, but I am very pleased at how this one turned out.  It's a bit of an upgrade from the meander pantograph that was picked out. I'm assuming a wash will remove the stitch marks from the previous quilting.

 There is a lot of ruler work that isn't noticed like the feathers, but that is the basis of this quilt.  I want my customers to get their quilt back and think it looks better than they thought it could. 

I want the piecing to sing, it's their quilt, not mine.  When you look at this, you are not overwhelmed by the quilting, this is all about the piecing.

 There's a lot of thread on this baby.

 I used Hobbs Wool for a batt, So Fine for thread. Quilt is 88 x 88 with round corners.

I'll be hand delivering this to the owner next Friday.  I am excited about that because I rarely get to see their reaction to my work.  I put it in a box, ship it off and hope for the best!

Now I want a quilt of my own quilted like this.  Mine all seem to have edge to edge designs, as I tend to "squeeze" mine in between customers tops.  I do have a log cabin that I want to feather so it languishes in a box under the machine.

Have a great weekend
