Finished quilt, no picture!

I finally finished the Swell Moda U quilt for the shop and dropped it off yesterday.  A customer asked to buy a kit while I was showing it to the gals, which made me very happy.  I love when my shop models sell kits!  I will get a picture once it's hung in the shop, hopefully it will be up when I work on Sunday.



It does not have rick rack after all.  My fourth order arrived and was not acceptable to me, so I decided to leave it off.  I would have had the quilt finished 2 weeks ago if I had made that decision sooner, but oh well.  Maybe I will find the right rick rack and stitch it on after it is machine quilted.



Next Friday I leave for San Jose to go to a quilt retreat with my BFF Nicole and her friends.  I am so excited to see her again and this will be my very first visit to California!
