The Finished Love Quilt - Juki - and Patsy Thompson!

Well, it's finally finished!  I put the last stitch on the binding last night. Just the label to put on and box up the quilt to go to it's new owner. Though I'm not happy about the centre of the quilt (won't make that mistake again) I do like the finished effect of the quilt as a whole and have learned a lot during it's construction and quilting.

Many thanks must go to Patsy Thompson for her wonderful 'Fast & Free' Volume 3 (two disc set) DVD which I watched continuously during breaks from quilting - especially the 'rotating axis family' on disc one - which I reproduced in the quilt.
Patsy is inspirational and I urge any would-be free motion machine quilters to have a look at her DVD's.
Also - could not have completed five UFO's without the aid of my wonderful Juki sewing machine. (Have another five quilt tops waiting in the wings - so watch this space folks!)
It's hard to believe I wanted to throw it out of the window - or try to sell it - a few weeks after I bought the  machine. It's not called 'The Beast' for nothing. Had my old Bernina not broken down I would have definitely got rid of the Juki.  BUT - thanks to help and advice from lasses like Angie (see her site on the right) I persevered and 'My Juki' is now a beloved machine which I wouldn't part with for all the tea in China!
