I also could see it in another color way as a school of tropical fish making their way somewhere. I have been just staring and staring at the quilting. It shows so well on both the front and the back that it is truly a two-sided quilt. Thank you so much for the close-ups with the explanation of how you quilted it along with the spectacular location shots. (The compass!!) This project must have been a joy from beginning to end. And now you get to share it with all of us and spread the joy.JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-17509578346766296962021-03-15T18:52:12.618-04:002021-03-15T18:52:12.618-04:00Hi Sandra.

I posted a comment on fb with a proper link but if you have a contact at Northcott you might want to touch base with them.

The quilting is to die for. You did an amazing job filling the space with gorgeous elements. Each photo is a story by itself as you develop the pattern. I would have been in a knot waiting for it to come out. For years, I've used Richard Hemming & Son Milliner's #10 needles. I have to use a needle threader but the length of the needle (like a straw) gives me plenty of room to hold onto the needle.Rochelle aka Bella Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09493294172036878044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-27788969829708804402021-03-12T11:28:41.742-05:002021-03-12T11:28:41.742-05:00Love your quilt!Love your quilt!Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259126076998854471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-27617599171093246892021-03-12T11:17:10.933-05:002021-03-12T11:17:10.933-05:00Wow, your in the wild photos are amazing!!!

As to needles for binding, I currently use a Bohin #9 or #7 Darning needle. I got a 40-pack of assorted Bohin needles in a Sew Sampler box and I like the larger eye so I can thread the needle easier. piecefulwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02256164519304112032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8372716062763623967.post-11471945931222969032021-03-12T08:21:32.395-05:002021-03-12T08:21:32.395-05:00Oh, Sandra!
