Completed this Queen size Quilt and sent home with the customer! This one was a Quilt top that was made by Mabel back in 1984 and given to me to complete. I added the green boarder, added the batting, quilted it and added the backing. It was a fun challenge.

We decided on the green boarders because we could not match the blue (the fabric was from 1984), so we matched the green to the flower greenery. I did not quilt across the painted roses because A. I was afraid of damaging the paint, B. I don't do long-arm quilting. Thus, I did Straight-Line Fancy Stitchwork Quilting following all the seams.
