hi this is a picture before the plastic was placed over you might be able to see the free motion sewing if you zoom in the lillies are from hatched in africa "just lillies"for those who might want to see .hope i get a better photo later regards ava

this is beautiful work

This is absolutely beautiful. What a labor of love.
Awesome workmanship.

When you click on the photo again it enlarges it and the details really show through. I love the quilting you did on this. The lillies are beautiful too. Wonderful heirloom quality. Make sure you have this quilt appraised. It is quite valuable $$$ wise with all the stitching. I'm a quilter with a friend who appraises quilts I know what I'm talking about in this one area.

So elegant and beautiful workmanship....Delightful to view..
