I quilted a quilt from someone else because they asked and I could do it. She blogged about it here. It was a Maze design. I had to stare at it for a while to figure out what would look best for the color and requests she wrote. I decided to do different motifs in the different colors. I used Gray Glide 60 for the top thread and DecoBob Dove Gray for the bobbin. Gratefully, it gave me very little tension isues.
The binding was a flange binding. I sewed it on the back with PremoSoft gray and the front with YLI monofilament, clear. I washed it then and immediately bagged it, packed it, and it arrived clear across the country just as it was supposed to. The best part was it was exactly what was wanted, whew.

The photos are great - but it looks even better in "real life"! You did an AWESOME JOB!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!! - ;))
Nice job on the quilting.
The texture shows really well after washing. That is why I don't consider any of my quilts "finished" until they have been washed.
Excellent quilting work and hooray for fewer tension issues!
Awesome quilt collaboration, Linda!!
That turned out great!
