This one shows how I got the sun to curve nicely (click on the picture to see the full size). The technique was suggested by my sister Karen. It worked really well, but took FOREVER.

i'm done!
I actually finished this quilt a few weeks ago, but seeing as I started it in June, I still feel really happy to have it done. I made this quilt for Sam's grandmother, Nathala. She gave me a new sewing machine, and I figured it would only be fitting to thank her by making something with it. I searched online for some ideas of what to make, but the final design was my own. Nathala lives in and LOVES Arizona, so that was the inspiration for the quilt. It's about four feet long, to give you an idea of the size.

That is really awesome! I wish I knew how to quilt. It looks so good!
truly amazing, heather! Make more because soon you will not be able to reach the machine comfortably. and then you'll be too busy with babycakes to do much else. so now is the time.
fabulous quilt heather! great work!
That quilt is really beautiful! I am very impressed. It was wonderful seeing you this December. Thank you for visiting!

That's amazing. I've never attempted quilting by hand. I'm impressed. I love how you made the sun perfect. I never would have thought to do that.
