I was able to pick up a quilt that I'd made and had quilted at a specialty shop. It was like Christmas! It turned out beautifully. I made the quilt for a friend's husband who wanted something "manly" so I used fabric with moose, elk, autumn leaves, and river pebbles. Then it was quilted with a design of leaves and vines in maroon thread. I couldn't be happier with how wonderfully it turned out.
