Sorry for the picture overload! I am in love with this quilt (mostly thanks to Chris, who did the quilting for me on her longarm machine). It is quite big - I am standing behind it, arms outstretched, holding the quilt up.
Doggies like it too. We got a new puppy few days ago (the one on the right, but I'm sure you all know which one is Lola...) He's about 7 months, rescue dog from a local animal shelter and we're calling him Floyd.
I have a thing for these scruffy terrier mixed breeds. They make wonderful companions.Floyd needs training though, today he stole a hunk of cheese from the table. Unacceptable.
The back of the quilt is an old sheet.
I am mesmerized by the floral stitching vs. geometrical pattern.
Have to make another one some day!

It is stunning!
wow! kudos to chris! that quilting is amazing!
I'm mesmerised by it too ... it's absolutely gorgeous!
What a beautiful blog! Will come back!!! This quilt is just gorgeous. And your new doggie is lovely (Lola too, of course) - I know how it is to have a thing for a special terrier type - we had a scruffy terrier mix as our first dog, now it seems we are totally into short haired whites with coloured faces :-) and still loving our old heeler boy of course.
It is truly wonderful!
it turned out great - I might have to piece a top myself soon! I know that I'd never finish handquilting such a large quilt, but if I could send it away for quilting, I might just manage:))
It is lovely. From a distance it looks mostly white - and then you see all the details!
prekrásny!!
the curlicues overlaying the soft colors, and sharp blocks is really interesting. i bet it feels amazing! what did you use as the filler material?
What a gorgeous quilt! And precious puppies! :)
Thanks for your lovely comments. The filler is just a cheap polyester batting
Beautiful quilt!! I love quilts too and have a reputation for eating the corners off of quilts. But I love to snuggle on them.
Your quilt is lovely and inspiring.
Kudos for adopting a rescue dog!!!!!

Such a beautiful quilt, but then I pretty much love your style all the time!
Love to Floyd and Lola! He already looks so happy to be with you!
