I really love this quilt and have been meaning to share it for awhile. The white space just begs for intense quilting. The outside edge feather scroll is the same one I used on The Chicken Egg quilt. It's a long time favorite. 
If you feel shy about attempting such dense quilting, be sure to use a batting that is going to shrink a LOT and cover mini-mistakes; something like Mountain Mist Blue Ribbon or Hobbs Organic Cotton, which has a higher loft. As the quilt ages and gets washed, it will get softer and softer just like grandma's.Until then, keep stitchin' . . . .

Ohhh this is wonderful. Yummy. I can hear it screaming for me to rest underneath it. Its all that quilting more than anything.
If there was an 'Oscar' for quilts-- you'd get it with this one... simply stunning....I'd like to believe it was the batting that made the difference...but in my heart I know it was the quilter...
Aaaaah, San.....you always bring me back on the right road ! :>)
Sometimes, I spend hours trying to sort out some fabrics for a "spectacular" quilt (not a scrappy one, this time), and I simply forget that 2 color quilts are just sooo elegant !
THANKS for showing, dear ! (Oh, how I'd like following a class with you !)...
Now, one question : (you are so good at colors) if you were to start a sampler quilt, which color scheme would you choose ?
(sorry, if I'm bothering you :>)
((HUGS)) & smiles to you !

The quilting is just beautiful. What a gorgeous quilt.
What a lovely quilt. Batting is important but you have to admit that is beautiful quilting. A wonderful job.
WOW! You are a true Picasso in the quilting world. Just happened to stumble onto your blog and I'm just in awe of your work.
Just beautiful....

This quilt is beautiful both the fresh, simple design of the patchwork and the intricacy of the actual quilting. Quilting isn't one of my skills but I can still admire other people's talent. Thanks for you comment on my blog, I'll look for the book you mention, I haven't come across it before.
That quilting is amazing. I love the hearts and the scrolling feathers in the border. You are very talented! Beautiful work.
Wow what a pretty quilt ,blue and whites are my fav. But I had just picked up a quilt magazine the other day on vintage quilts and they had a very simular pattern in bright yellow and orange. Anyhow I was asking hubby if it should be white with blue like yours or green with white. Keep up the lovely eye candy. I'm amazed
I love the crinkly look!
