This is the way we put it on our king size bed. My models are my mother and my friend, long arm quilter, Irene Hensley.

Irene quilted the piece adding lots of texture in the dead space. The quilting design she used gives it movement in the solid areas and still shows the block lineup. I love it!

Thank you for stopping by "In The Boon Docks", please feel free to look around, and leave a comment. Enjoy the rest of the "Blogger's Quilt Festival". Remember my number is #107. It has been a pleasure, Lisa...

    Good daу! I knoω this іs kinda off topіс but I was wonderіng which blog platform агe you using
    foг thiѕ sitе? I'm getting sick and tired of Wordpress because I've hаԁ issuеs with hackerѕ
    аnd I'm looking at alternatives for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

Update This Giveaway is closed! And the winner is ... #105 gpc March 5, 2014 at 12:13 PM I follow your blog! :) Think Ruffles Blog Hop Welcome to "In The Boon Docks" and Day 1 of the "Think Ruffles Blog Hop"! My name is Lisa and I am so happy you are here today to see my quilt with ruffles!

The second time I read the "Garden Path" pattern by Ann Baxter, (I had already made the quilt), it read "ruching", you don'
