steven1216 Lavender Visions - This is the second quilt I made in 1995. It was also the first time I ever spent more than $3.00 on a yard of fabric. I just had too! I was in a local quilt store in Missoula, Montana and saw this toile fabric and couldn't resist. I machine pieced the quilt together and with the assistance of Alex Anderson and a "Simply Quilts" episode teaching viewers to hand quilt, I hand quilted the entire finished quilt. You cannot visibly see the progression of my stitches, but I can! I started by getting very few stitches per inch, maybe 6 or 7. By the end of the quilting process I was getting anywhere from 10 to 12 per inch. This quilt is currently on my quilt rack and is a favorite for snuggling in the winter with my cats.
