My friend had a baby shower last week (luckily she's having a girl) and it was just the motivation I needed to finish it up. My plan for closely-spaced straight line quilting seemed less awesome when it was in fact taking me all of forever to quilt it. I decided that the lines would ebb and flow between close together (1/4 inch) and further apart (2 inches). I think it turned out very nice like that, but then I saw crazymomquilt's big quilt that was done entirely with the close-together straight lines and I immediately wished I'd had the patience to keep going with the 1/4 inch spacing. I'm such a quilting baby.

Oh Lori It is beautiful!!! Quilts are my favorite. Nothing feels as nice as a quilt.
Me thinks that you should make more!!!
Oh. my. goodness. What a masterpiece. The fabrics you chose look great together. And all those LINES! I don't know if I would have the selflessness to give away something that required so much time and effort.
I think I'd be selfish and keep it.
Beautiful!
Lori, you just keep one-upping yourself! What next? I love this quilt. It is beautiful. I, too, love everything about quilts. Love it!
great work.
Oh, Lori, it's absolutely beautiful! I'm so proud of you. Do I get to see it in person?
