Luckiest Longarmer...That's Me!


I can't believe my run of luck with beginner quilters.  When my client brought me this quilt she said it was her first quilt.  This is a pretty ambitious first quilt and she is obviously a natural.  She also knows how to pick complementary colors for a quilt as well, and in batiks!!  It rolled onto my frame beautifully and I just can't help but brag at how lucky I am to be surrounded by amazing quilters.  Must be something in our northern air!  


After looking at this quilt for a few minutes I suddenly realized that the blocks were from our local quilt store BOM project in 2005.  I have quilted about 5 of these quilts so far and have another one on my list for January.  But done in batiks looks like a completely different quilt.


I used my Whirlygig pantograph with light sage green thread to blend with the batik colors.
