Riley's Quilt



Riley's quilt is finally completely finished and has made it's first apperence at a local quilt show. It was hand quilted by Blue Ribbon Hand Quilters and they entered it to be judged. The judge's comment was " very nice quilt but the squares are not all square'. I knew that because I had to adjust some of the squares to make the border fit the quilt. In the back of my mind I remember a guest at our quilt guild saying if you have a border like that on your quilt don't forget to make the quilt fit the border not the border fit the quilt. And poor Riley is not going to get her quilt until after June when my quilt guild has their show.

What a beautiful quilt!!!! I love the label. It's really easy to see just how much you love Riley and I guess that's why we all quilt for those we love!

That is a treasure for Riley. She won't care that the blocks aren't all square. Beautiful job!!

Riley is a very lucky little girl and she's going to be thrilled with her quilt.

"Very nice" indeed! This is a beauty. How sad to be a judge and have to worry about square squares.

I always liked to have my quilts critiqued when I entered them in shows. To some it may seem nitpicking, but I found it to be valuable advice and it made me more aware of my work.
That said, the quilt is gorgeous and I know Riley will love it forever. Labors of love do not get professional scrutiny, just appreciation. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work, Ellen.
