Congratulations! It is a beautiful quilt! And, I can appreciate the quilting! I recently did a crosshatch, broken up by appliqué, and it is a tedious job! (I sew on a domestic machine.)
If I am remembering correctly, a person cannot even enter an IQA show, if someone else has quilted her quilt, unless it was a duo planned piece of work from the very beginning. No "quilting by hire" allowed. Or something like that. Meanwhile, I think AQS does allow it. Times are changing, with the long arm quilters getting used more and more, and the work they are doing getting better and better. I'm sure new rules and clarifications will be coming in the near future, to go along with the every changing industry!
Dawn,
