I really did plan on quilting this a lot more simply, with a lot more open space, but I just can’t help myself! I started doign the star/swirl fill in the border, and then I kept going in the body of the pretty quilt, and then pretty soon I was covering up every available square inch….
So here’s the quilt in all of its glory. I didn’t realize until I was all the way upstairs that it wasn’t flat and that the corner was flipped. I wasn’t going to run back down and up, though…
And a few close-ups:
I forgot to add to yesterday’s list that I want to make a coordinating doll quilt, too.
The blue thread on the top is from Superior — their King Tut line — it’s called Lapis Lazuli. Very pretty, although none of the pictures I took show that it is variegated. It’s quite subtle, so that’s not surprising, I guess.
I’ve got a sick kid home today. Not like puking or anything — just lethargic and not-quite-himself. So, a day, of lounging in my mom’s bed, a nap or two, and hopefully he’ll be back to normal soon.
Better unglue my fanny again and go get something useful done!

It’s really cute! I love the quilting too – I don’t think it’s overquilted at all.
I agree…no overquilting…it looks great…very fun! Hope the little one is all well tomorrow.
Love this quilt!! The colors just make you feel happy! and the quilting is perfect! Definitely not too much…though I’m one of those quilt it to death kinda gals…LOL.
What a lucky niece….from a loving Aunt! This is going to make her room a happy refuge for many years.
I love it!!! It’s going in my idea file. And it’s quilted perfectly!!!
It’s a gorgeous quilt and i don’t think there is too much quilting on it. I love it !
Wonderful, Suzanne, I really like this one! It is not overquilted, imho! LOL
It looks great! i love the color combinations! I also love the costumes you made for the boys! What cuties they are and a good memory. You can handle basketball – think of it as sleep therapy for the boys LOL
The quilting looks perfect – one of my struggles with overall quilting is to NOT quilt too densely.
I’m quilting more leaves today – thanks for the encouragement!
I love the dense quilting. The added texture is wonderful.
