Magnificent! This is a good lesson on changing a construction technique to suit yourself. I think the quilting pops even more with your revisions. I am envious of your ability/permission to walk along the lake. It’s a beautiful place for quilt glamour shots. Let’s hope the owner takes even more time to do something with the lot.
