This is nice! I really like it! That must have taken awhile to do.

What's the big deal about the "wavy" borders?. Mine are wavy a lot! LOL! I wonder how they even lay on the bed sometimes they are so busy waving!

I used the bead board quilting on a border one time. I had hand quilted it, my first ever hand quilted quilt and I couldn't figure out how to hoop the border so I used my machine to bead board it. I really like the look!

Thank you all so much for your comments! It helps so much to hear what you like; it helps me understand what works. Doing the wavy border to mimic the frames in the block printed panels was a gut instinct thing; I'm relieved to hear that it works when others look at it too.

I took it in to my Viking dealer's yesterday, and walked out agreeing to do a class next month!?! Red Rooster has a Halloween fabric. The Haunted Hallow, so I drafted a pattern last night and need to get the shop sample done tomorrow.

Boy, do I know how to get myself into trouble or what?!!

You silly girl! Isn't "TROUBLE" your middle name??!!! *grin*

PS I definitely can see why they would like to have you instruct a class. You are very creative (and a lot of fun)!
