pc, I've finished 5 or 6 quilt tops. My REAL first top I sent to MSQC to be machine quilted, and DH was somewhere between 'blown away' and impressed. But he couldn't keep up with my productivity, and the $$ ($) to finish a quilt and send it out...
I have 2 finished to date. One was the machine-quilted from MSQC (AWESOME) the other old-school, tied
With embroidery thread (also AWSOME). Both binded by machine and hand. I got the strongest reaction from #2.
It may be my signature, I think! Let's hope it all holds up in the wash!
