and the next three pictures too. I decided that if I had to wrestle this big boy through my Baby Lock QC, it might never get quilted. So I sent it out to be quilted by *someone else*.It was the first time I've ever sent one out and it felt sort of like when my DD#1 went to school for the first time. But our own Karen Garza took such good care of it -- don't you agree? It is hard to tell from the photo but the thread is shaded from dark to light brown and just suits the quilt to a tee. Kudos to Karen, and thank you again to the ones who made most of these blocks and sent them for my birthday.
