Rhapsody in Blue

The bottom border of Rhapsody in Blue is quilted. Sorry there are shadows in the pictures.

This first picture is across the bottom border but the quilting doesn't show.







The next section to be quilted is the 9 patch patchwork.

Elaine did the applique work, the applique is based on the Lady Jane quilt designed by Nancy Rink.

    1. When I'm ready to roll and uncover the whole size, I love to gently move my fingers across the texture. It pleases me.

  4. Your feathers are oh so pretty swirling all around. Happy weather is here in Ohio this week. Hope you have time to set your needle down and catch some rays there.
