She's Back Home & I Love It!

 She's back home and I'm very happy with the quilting done

by Linda at Missouri Star Quilting Company.

 For the actual quilting I picked the pattern called meandering feathers.  

There were so many on-line patterns to look at it was overwhelming.

 You can see more of the detail here on the back.

This large amount of quilting is something I would never attempt

to try on my home machine.   I simply don't have the patience for.

I chose a back fabric Missouri Star offered at approx. $16 per

yard.  [You have the option to send in your own backing

material.]  The back fabric is of excellent quality and for 

my first quilt going into the guild show I wanted the best.

Total cost = $239 which included ... the backing, the

quilting, the batting, finished edges, and Fed-X delivery

back to my front door.  The actual kit was on sale for

$70 from Connecting Threads.  All in all it was expensive 

but for a once in a while thing I felt it was okay.

Next I will be working on hand binding which might

take me some time due to the size.
