Carol's Blue & Gold set

My friend, Carol, recently brought me this very large (95x104") quilt top, along with two pillow shams. 

Carol was one of the brave ladies from my church who trusted me with a quilt top when I first bought my longarm quilting machine in August 2015. At first, I practiced on plain muslin, but when I felt ready to "pull the trigger" on a real quilt top, I opened an invitation to our congregation - offering to quilt one top per person for free, in exchange for giving me some actual, real quilt tops to work on. And it was Carol's that was my very first quilt.

Hopefully we have many more joint projects to look forward to in the future!
