Exquisite!
I was lucky enough to be chosen by Carol at Cornfield Quilter to be one of her PIFs. (Pay It Forward.) A little while back, she offered to machine quilt one of my quilt tops, as my gift. Of course, I accepted! I chose this Language of Love quilt top that I had pieced back in 2007 and had considered hand-quilted, but just had not gotten to it yet. It is a large quilt - 93 inches square. Since it is for my husband and I, I thought her machine quilting would be perfect for it. When I sent it off in July, I expected her to just do an all-over pattern, which would have been wonderful! Instead, Carol did this...! (This is only half the quilt, laid over our clothesline!) Be sure to click on the pics! 
On the rose blocks, she outlined each rose!
And then the pieced blocks, have this feather-y flower.
Each border is quilted in-the-ditch, plus the feathers. Plus the lines on the outside border.
And then Carol threw in some patterns and kits that she no longer wanted, for me to use or pass along...! It was like my birthday! (Just a couple weeks early!)
I had tears in my eyes, when I saw the work she did. I am truly blessed with this, Carol! It is above and beyond what you had to do! I am so glad I was able to get such good photos today of this quilt - I wish you all could feel it. The texture is amazing. Right now, it is hanging over my embroidery machine, so I can just admire its beauty. Thank you, Carol, from the bottom of my heart!

Angela, you are very welcome, it was an honor to do it! The quilt looks amazing hanging on the clothesline. :D I know you will enjoy it for many years to come. I hope you can use the kits I sent. I loved them but after sorting through my fabric I was ashamed of myself for all the kits I do have and will never get around to making them.
Hugs!!
Oh. my. goodness. That is simply stunning! What a beautiful job. I'm sure that will be a treasure for years to come. Enjoy!!
Stunning ,she did a beautiful job .
Gorgeous Angela! The quilt itself is beautiful and the quilting really enhances it. You've got a real heirloom there.
I agree, your quilt is beautiful and the quilting is amazing. I dream to have a longarmer like Carol !But to far away from France......
Oh, what a lovely, heartfelt gift! Carol is sweet and you are blessed!
Wow! I've been catching up with your blog. I see I've missed your bday, anniversary, first day of school, lots of stuff! Glad you saw fit to chronicle it all so I can see all that I've missed. I'll try to do better keeping track.
