Thanks again Peggy, coming from you that is very high praise....I am quite pleased with myself and the way it turned out. I was petrified to do the free motion quilting for fear of ruining it, but I picked out the design I wanted to do and just did it as you said I should do. I am so glad I took you advice and finished it all myself...You are my inspiration on this and can't wait to do another of your designs....Best wishes to you Peggy and thank you for all you do for us quilters.......

Beautiful, well done! Peggy's right about your border fabric, just gorgeous! Can't wait to make a start on mine but my "wannado" list keeps growing by the day thanks to all the inspiration on here ;-) Thanks for sharing.

The colors and fabrics that you chose for your Dreamweaver quilt came out beautifully!! And the gorgeous border fabric you chose makes the perfect frame, too!
