Here's my first quilt to be pulled out of the stops in 2013. I made the blocks in a Craftsy class with Pepper Cory and after seeing the show with Jacquie Guering I decided to have a go at just quilting using my walking foot on the serpentine stitch. There is so much detail in the blocks that any quilting becomes invisible so this worked out really well. It is a single bed size and it's new home will be in Dingle, Co. Kerry. I have called it 'Rubies are Forever'.

Rita, your quilt is stunningly beautiful! Kudos on completing a large project (anything larger than a wall hanging is enormous to me!)
Here's my first 2013 completion. Made in a class with Susan Edmonson. The coneflower is painted with wax pastels, then the details are stitched. Great fun!

Connie your cone flower quilt is beautiful! How wonderful to be able to do that. But I must ask you are wax pastels the same as oil pastels? Are they soft or hard? I ask because my father uses soft oil pastels in his work and they blend beautifully so I am wondering if these are the same. Also, do you do anything to them to make them permanent or is that just not a worry with a wall quilt?
Thanks for the kind comments about my quilt everybody. I should probably have done a lot more lines to be more 'modern' but I used cotton batting and I was worried about it becoming stiff as a board.
Nanapie, I used two different variegated pink threads on the top (Wonderfil and Sulky) - and a variegated red (also Wonderfil)in the bobbin because the back of the quilt is red with black spots. I was amazed at how much thread it used. I had thought that 500mtrs of Wonderfil would be enough but I had to find an alternative which was the Sulky because we can't get the Wonderfil here except at the big show in November.
