Here is another quilt made from Melody's hand dyed fabric from the early 1990's. I made this in 1993. I named it "Pregnant 9-Patch". I had made the crazy pieced blocks before I went to QSDS that year in Ohio and I took them along. I found the large white and black checked fabric there at one of the booths and it looked perfect with them. The border fabric is a double dyed piece. When I was finishing this quilt my daughter and 2 nieces were pregnant. As I worked with how to trim off the outside border, it came out with this point on the right. I decided it must be pregnant too and so it got its name.

Your wavy line border quilting reminds me of what I call my "ripple quilting" (more or less parallel undulating lines) - I'm not at all confident with machine quilting on my Bernina and I SO admire the work of people who are!
But DO you EVER sleep ?!
Great quilting !
Send energy !
I agree with zquilts.
I am sure if I lived alone I would achieve more, as I wouldn't bother to stop for mealtimes- or TV.
I really love that lilac one, how pretty it is.
I love the Pregnant one. It's hard to beat hand dyes for color and texture. The B&W goes perfectly with all that color.
