Well, I’m not 100% happy but I’m not unhappy with this either. The frond like feather is a little threadier in some places than I’d like but overall I think it’s pretty good for a first attempt. All the photos should enlarge when you click them.
One thing I always struggle with is the corners of my borders, on this quilt one turned out good (below) 2 aren’t bad, and 1 isn’t all that great. Notice I’m only showing the good one!

Noone could complain about that quilting!! Lovely.Enjoy your sons!!
I think it looks great.
MaryYour quilt is so amazing… I like so much of your work !Congratulations !Kisses from Brazil Helena
Looking at your quilting makes me ambitious to go beyond meanders and loops. Yours are gorgeous.
Fabulous, Mary! Diane Gaudynski suggests doing four corners differently — on purpose — for the sole purpose of avoiding that whole “matching” saga. Well done!!!
I love your quilting!! I think it turned out great :o)
I really like the frond feathers, adds a new twist!
I like it!
Great job.
The curves look very smooth…mine look like broken teeth! Don’t be too hard on yourself…I so like Darcie’s pass along about having 4 different corners!
I agree, you’re being much too hard on yourself. I think you did a GREAT job! I wish my quilting looked half as good.
*Very* nice, Mary!And I like Darcie’s quoted suggestion of doing each corner differently. I’m tucking that idea away for the near future!Have a nice visit with your boys!
look at you stretching your skillset and coming out a winner! the two patterns you chose compliment eachother and the quilt nicely.
Well now, that turned out great! You worry for nothing.
Mary, that is AMAZING!!!!!
I think your quilting is great!
I think it looks great and I absolutely LOVE the idea of four different corners! You rock, Mary!Flatlander (Linda)
I think it’s wonderful! You are so talented Mary! I love to see what you have done with your quilting. Inspiring!
Yes, and I really like it up against the two different colors. It really shows how varied the look can be. Mary, you gotta dig how fun this is! Possibilities.
Very nice Mary!!

I can’t believe this is all free hand! It is beautiful and looks just perfect!
I love the swirls. It’s so whimsical. I finished my Nines and Vines quilt top. Come have a look. Done is good
Wow – I am impressed! Great job!
Mary-what group do you swap postcards with? I just found one on swap-bot and I think it would be fun to do, but if I could join the same one that you are in then I might end up with some of your beautiful work one day!Cary
Love that thread on that quilt and your quilting–FREE HAND–is awesome!
You are doing great! I still struggle with corners, too.
