Finally finished the "1600 Quilt". I used a smaller "jelly roll" so the center section of the quilt is smaller than the "1600 Quilt" would be. I added two borders to make the quilt a finished sized of about 50" x 80". This makes a nice quilt for someone who is tall or someone who just likes to be tucked in! I used the scalloped edge by using my new Vines & Curves ruler purchased from Quilt In A Day. I watched Jenny Doan's tutorial on the Missouri Star Quilt Company website (also found on Youtube at

I used my Brother 1500 sewing machine which is set on a Start Right quilt frame from Grace Frame Co. By using the Grace Laser I am able to follow a pantograph to do an all over design.
The quilt's name is "Cocoa Creme". The colors reminded me of cherry chocolates and I used brown thread for the machine quilting.
Sorry, the photos didn't come out as well as they should have. May have to break down and purchase a new digital camera.
