Woohoo! Finished Quilting!

Oh Yeah! I finished quilting my Koi Pond quilt and I am in love with it. It is my "current" favorite quilt, of all of the quilts I've made so far.



I have never done straight line quilting and thought it would be a good time to start. So that's what I did with the outside border. I think it is a good contrast with the "fish scales" on the navy border.

The quilt is approx. 58"x78", pieced and quilted with Aurifil thread. Now I just need to trim and bind it.

I'm linking up with Leah Day at The Free Motion Project for FMQ Friday and Nat at Made at Home for TGIFF.

    I love the idea of the fish scales! I really hope you're bringing this to the next guild meeting. :)

    I was looking through blogs on the couch a couple of weeks ago, and was looking at one of your in-process posts for this quilt. It is sufficiently impressive that it caught my boyfriend's attention away from whatever basketball game we were watching! He also thinks it's a very cool quilt, and I agree! :)

    I have to admit when I first saw this quilt, with only the top and no quilting, I wasn't sure about it. But once the carp were on it, I began to fall in love. And now that the free motion is finished, I'm amazed. It is so rich! And the strait line quilting in the outer border was a perfect final touch.
