Prettiest Turning Twenty quilt ever!

Such yummy, yummy fabrics!  This would look so fantastic in my living room, I hate to send it back!  But alas I must, it’s a customer quilt I just finished.

 This one was hard to get good photographs of, it’s quite large, and the quilting more or less disappears into the busy background 

 

The pantograph my customer chose for this one is “Holly Berries” by Lorien Quilting, and I used a rich red thread from Isacord to quilt it with.  Sometimes when I haven’t used Isacord on a quilt in a while, I’m amazed at how beautifully it quilts up… just like a hot knife going through butter!  My APQS Millennium absolutely loves Isacord thread!

I guess I better go mail it while sanity still prevails eh?

Mmm, those were some of Moda's Basic Grey's Christmas fabrics from last year--so gorgeous! Made a beautiful quilt, for sure. And your quilting is just perfect on it.

now that you have seen this one and quilted it you could make one of your own!

I have that fabric! Now I have to go find it. ;-)

Yes, it would be difficult to return this one! It's really pretty! Looking and analyzing what makes this Turning Twenty quilt so special, I feel it's the white fabric that really makes this quilt sizzle! I tend to forget how great white with other fabric combinations looks.
