Remember this…
well I sent it to my brilliant sister and look what she did to it…
Hopefully you can see the magnificent quilting – I did just say do something quick and simple but she just cant help herself…Now I just have to write up the pattern but I think its going to have to wait until I return, only 3 sleeps to go and much still to do first.
But, I have decided on a name… there were so many great names offered but the one that spoke to me first was this one

I love the red quilt. Wish I had it - OK I'm daydreaming ;-)
"Belle of the ball" was the name I thought of within a millisecond of seeing the quilt. Hope you like it too.

What a magnificent job your sister did! Really superb quilting - I wish I could stroke it. Unfortunately, Houston is about 8000 km away from here :-(
I was really pleased to see you picked the name I suggested and hope the Belle has a Ball in Houston. (Sorry, I could not resist the punch) Just sent you an email with my details.

How beautiful. It looks like there is a little bit of everything in it (trapunto, exquisite quilting, piecing, applique). The trapunto really stands out. I enjoyed looking at the workmanship.

Wow!! Your sister did an amazing job. It's wonderful. The quilting really brought out your appliques and border nicely. Bell of the Ball suits it wonderfully. Great job!!!!
