This is Jackie's quilt and she used the pattern '21 Strip Salute'. As you can see I'm starting to lose my favorite photo spot due to all the shadows from the sun rising in the southeast this time of year. *pout*
While Jackie was working on this quilt she realized that mixing batiks and regular cottons was not a good idea. The Stonehenge had a lot more stretch than the batik so squaring it up for the borders was a bigger job than usual. Her time and effort in making sure her borders were done right was greatly appreciated as I had no problems quilting it on my machine. I hear she had a good teacher helping her...thanks A!
Jackie picked Tickle for the center panto and left the outside border design up to me. The batik fabric has a rectangular print so I decided on quilting a free hand square swirls using a brown variegated Lava thread.
Her backing was Stonehenge as well.
