WOW! It is gorgeous. I think my favorite part is the quilting you did from the big green triangles, small triangels, quarter dresden plates, the HST right out to the piano keys. It all just flows so well. Great quilting design. Oh, and those cool hooking feathers in the star points of the medallion. The back tells the story. Simply stunning.

OMgosh Shannon, you're killin' me that is so fantastic! Your quilting rocks! And it's amazing how different fabrics change the quilt so much. I'm not usually a fan of 30's fabric but this one is an exception.

Beautiful quilting; I love the back, too! Are longarms much faster to quilt on than DSMs? They certainly would appear to be!

Great quilts, but I prefer the second one! Your quilting is wonderful. Loved all the closeups of the back. This is my first time on your site and I will be back to see all of your great work!
