My Fall Quilt

I finished my quilt just in time. This quilt is HUGE! 63x82. Much bigger then I originally anticipated. Bigger is better right?? I really love how this turned out. I love how many different fall colors are dancing around the quilt. I love how the borders turned out. First time using ric rac like this on the border. It was a little tricky at first, and I do have a few flaws that add character, but I really love the end result.

I'm getting a little better at my original stippling pattern.

I tried different quilting on the two borders. Always a little scary trying something new...

Simply love it.
