This is a lovely quilt made by a new customer from New Brunswick, Margie. It's a bit of a long story how I ended up quilting a quilt from so far away but it arrived and I quickly went to work. Margie made this beauty as a wedding gift for her niece here in Calgary - how lucky is that gal and her new husband? Most of the time only other quilters can appreciate the work that goes into a large wonderful quilt like this (88" x 98") - there are exceptions to the rule of course.
I did a freehand leaf design using Mirage variegated thread by Wonderfil and W/N 80/20 batting. I also put the binding on using a great gold stripe fabric cut on the bias - I think it pulled everything together well, don't you?

Awesome job, Nancy! Love the striped binding...it really pulled the whole quilt together.
