The sentiment behind the quilt - of coming together - makes it truly special. I'm coming back again to look at all the elements of your beautiful quilting and I may have more questions.Vasudhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01432455229606113236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-78296902691678421432018-07-15T18:37:01.817-04:002018-07-15T18:37:01.817-04:00I love that you were able to use a design from the...I love that you were able to use a design from the challenge in the early part of the year.

I like the idea that the quilting is different in those areas because that's what makes handmade so special (although I have to admit that I had to really look closely to figure out what you were talking about). Flexible curves (bendy thingies) are fun to use (I just used mine yesterday), but I always wonder just what it's made of and whether it's toxic. Mine smells terrible (like lead??) so I keep it coiled in a tightly zipped plastic bag when I'm not using it. It's really old, and maybe modern ones are made differently. I love the ghost geese and the name!! We all need lifting up right now, don't we? Sigh.

It was good to read this post, to see the beautiful quilting and the beautiful design of the quilt. I'm not surprised about the pains in the head as lining this all up does not look easy to me. My favourite parts of the quilt are the ghost geese quietly working away in the background trying to keep it all together.Lisa J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16367339236614679822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-3009223886222775732018-07-13T07:43:14.569-04:002018-07-13T07:43:14.569-04:00What a fantastic finish.
