Denise's Aviatrix Quilt

I'm so excited to share with everyone the pictures of the quilting I did on Denise's Aviatrix Quilt that she is entering in the State Fair of Texas.  As many of you know, I am still a newbie part time quilter. I have had my longarm for 3 1/2 years now, but I have a full time job doing hair color. So sometimes there is not a lot of time to practice quilting.

One of the hardest things about quilting a quilt for myself or someone else, is how will I quilt it.  Sometimes the lightbulb just goes off and other times it takes a lot of considering which means the quilt stays in the queue a long time.   This time with the knowledge this quilt was going in the fair I did not have the time for procrastination.  A lot of times if I google images of how others quilted a quilt my imagination gets sparked.  But this time, instead of my own imagination being sparked I was blown away by the quilting that Natalia Bonner did on an Aviatrix Quilt.  You can see her version here:  http://www.pieceandquilt.com/2014/08/aviatrix-medallion-quilt.html  I am currently taking a Craftsy class of hers which I love.  Then I was blown away again with the quilting Oh Sew Loved did on an Aviatrix Quilt you can see her images here:  http://ohsewloved.blogspot.com/2016/10/maviss-aviatrix-medallion-quilt.html   I loved both these designs so much that I merged them and added a few  twists of my own.  I hope they both know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  I simply love how Denise's Quilt turned out!  Please send good thoughts for her and this beautifully pieced quilt!  :)
