Long armed Chris was left to her own devices with this little quilt. I told her not to over quilt it, but to do whatever she felt was right.
I trust her implicitly - she knows exactly what I like and I always like a bit of a surprise, so I mostly don't ask for any pattern in particular, just let her get on with it. She told me she tried to do something far more modern than either of us usually go for. I think she has it spot on - I love the little shapes quilted in the bottom echoing the tumbling pieces, and the quilted border.
This is now going to visit Claire at Patch fabrics ready for an english paper piecing workshop I'm teaching there in September (which isn't advertised yet, but will be shortly, I'm sure). I think it's September 22nd, and will be a full day workshop.

Love it - I think I will be basting my squares this afternoon, so to speak x
beautyful! I love the sparkling of the quilt.
i think its just lovely and stunningly quilted!
Love how she did this, especially the tumbling bits at the bottom
Love it! The quilting is fabulous.
I'm hoping to come to the workshop at Patch Fabrics. Already have the templates but might wait till then before taking them out.
Amazing colours. Love the scrappy bit of binding and the quilting really is inspired.
It's lovely. I'm getting a quilt back from Chris myself this week, I cannot wait to see it.
I love the tumbling bits at the bottom. It has killed the last of my resistance - I have finally ordered a set of spring carnival templates.
It's gorgeous, the quilting suits the design perfectly. I hope to get the workshop this time.
Stunning Katie!
This is fabulous! The quilting is perfect!
Ah! The quilting turned out so great :-D I completely love it!
The quilting makes this quilt even more awesome! Di x
It's stunning!
Brilliant!
Stunning. Love it. I can't wait to get the pattern and make it one day.
Beautifully quilted, too. :D
I LOVE this - it looks AMAZING!
Lovely quilting and the blocks are amazing. I am trying to stay focused on Hexy MF...templates, papers and fabrics on the way. I truth it'll be like the 3 yr plan!
Looks fantastic, Just waiting on my templates to make this Quilt.
kudos to you and Chris!

Beautiful
Oh wow-- this is SO beautiful! And the quilting is awesome.
Oh I love the quilting! It adds an additional twist of modern to a traditional quilt block! Beeutiful!
I love this quilt, especially the way the pieces fall away at the bottom. She echoed that so nicely in the quilting - wow!
I love this. It's gorgeous. I may at some point order the templates, but it looks hard--like double wedding ring or single girl quilt hard.
That quilting just made me happy. Its so great that it echoes the disintegration of the shapes. Well done the pair of you!
