thx!
I do not have a good pic of the back. I have a horrible pic of it before it was quilted together and from my old house. I made two of the same back design a long time ago and then ended up finally using it like 7 years later. But i like super simple designs and the blue fabric /design is of tall buildings.

so so jealous of these awesome quilts. I was just starting to learn quilting when my life became nomadic -- I completed one very bad square in the fall of 2002 I think.

I love doing the patchwork part of quilting but am terrible at the actual quilting/sending it out to be quilted for me part. I currently have two quilt tops sitting around going nowhere, and instead of finishing them I just started a new one.

yeah, i always have high hopes to do nice free quilting but then I always just end up stitch in the ditch or other straight line designs just to get it done. I need to make a 3x9 or 10 foot one for winter couch laying about and that one might actually see free quiting since it will be easier to maneuver in my small machine.

That sounds cool. I've never tried free quilting with my machine, and most of the quilts I've been making lately are too big to even do stitch in the ditch with a normal size machine, so I just keep putting off dealing with them.

I've made a queen size quilt before in my little Brother machine. It's possible . You just have to roll the side up tightly and start in the middle/switch sides. But I likely will never make one that big again. I just really wanted a specific quilt design I saw on Purlbee for my bed..

i was a bit obsessed with this picture on the site and learned how to quilt so i could make it. https://www.purlsoho.com/create/2008/11/24/mollys-sketchbook-a-wedding-quilt/

Oh,that's really cool! Maybe I'll try machine quilting this one I'm working on now, since it's just a nine-patch and it won't be too noticeable if I screw it up.
