My pieced quilt-top is done

 I have completed piecing the top of my quilt. Here it is spread out on the living room floor since I needed to square it up to the backing.  The backing is the little bit of white edging you see.  The overall dimension is 100X100 inches.
This is Pam's long-arm quilter.  This machine is amazing!!!!!  No wonder it costs tens of thousands of dollars.  She had books and books of patterns we could choose from. We were even able to project the images up on that huge screen in order to get a good visual of what it will look like. We decided on the cardinal/dogwood blossom print below to use as the quilt design and a shimmery brown thread to use. It looks amazing. She will program it to print the first row facing one direction and the next row to face the opposite direction. This info may not be doing it justice but it looked really cool up on the screen and I think it will be amazing when we get it back.  She will have it about 2 weeks.
