Very nice, Valarie! I'm sure your hubby will love it!

Great job Valerie! I am sure your DH will be able to "relax" on the couch with this awesome quilt!

Great quilt. I love your colors.

Looks like a very manly quilt - perfect for channel surfacing on a dreary day. Love the batiks. Wonderful job.

Oh, I love it. Batiks are my favorite.

Love the quilt and the fabrics. Would love to see a close-up of your quilting. I love to FMQ, but I'm not very good at accuracy, just the fun of it.

I love it too. Anything Batik is great!

Jackie

LOVE the colors! It's so rich looking. Could you get a shot of the quilting?

Nice job! Love the colors, love the batiks. It's hard to remember you've been quilting for such a short time! Looks like the work of a pro.

"Warm and wonderful" is how I would describe it. You did a fantastic job, Valarie. The fabrics are great and I love the pattern. Very, very handsome. Lois

I wish mine were that beautiful. Love it!

It is very well done. Congratulations!
Theresa

Beautiful!! My dh would love that as well. You may never get him off the couch, now, LOL!

Robbi

That's both beautiful and perfect for a man. Reminds me of fall.

Thanks all! And yes dh will be channel surfing happily.
Bev2009: Here's a pic of the quilting, this is the border shot...I did a spiral in the cemter blocks (smaller) and each of the four coners. The spiral was a last minute thought, the fabric inspired me as I was attempting to imitate the batik fabric. The balance of the quilt is stippling and I did do a loopy loop in the skinny black border. In retrospect,I wish had a larger spiral in the center blocks...live and learn...Next time!

That's a beautiful and gorgeous quilt! I love the colors and quilt pattern! TFS! :-)

Best to you,
Sandra

The quilt patterns look great! I appreciate seeing other discard the no crossing over a stitch. I really like free wheeling with the thread, it's what makes free motion such fun to do...until your shoulders give out ;-)

That's a great couch quilt. You did a wonderful job on the quiltng too.

Thanks for the pic. I'll give the spiral a shot today.

Wow, that is really beautiful. Your colors are so rich.

Nice job.

Lola

That's lovely! Your DH is a lucky man!

That quilt is gorgeous and perfect for a man! I love the dark brown in there with the other colors.

You also did a great job on the quilting.

You're inspiring!

Dawn

It is gorgeous!!! Greart job on the quilting too. I'm still learning FMQ and I wait so long in between practice that it's like starting over each time lol!!!

Love your quilt. Batiks are my favorite too. Would love to do FMQ, but most of my quilts are Queen and it would be impossible with my regular Singer machine. Too little space to bunch/roll all that fabric.
