In 2009 I was part of a quilt guild in NH and we had a Round Robin activity each month where we could bring the pieces to make a block you wanted help putting together.  Whoever wanted to help would grab a baggie with instructions, take it home to make, then bring the finished block the following month.  I had a quilt I wasn't "feeling" very much and wanted to get some help putting it together so I brought in my baggies and many quilters took one to complete.  I put the quilt together around that time and it's sat in my finished tops pile since.  Well yesterday I finished it in my Bernina 750QE with embroidery module in a snowflake design with a navy blue thread.  I am really happy with how the quilting came out especially since the piecing wasn't very good.  It's a biased quilt so it's very stretchy and I think I pieced the borders back when I wasn't measuring the middle of the quilt to find the border measurements.  And that would be why there is a bit of a ruffling effect on most of the borders.  I'm glad I stopped doing that and I've included a link here for anyone interested in this border measuring technique.  This quilt is beautiful but the wavy borders and it’s inability to lay flat are embarrassing.  I added the binding yesterday and here it hangs.
