This is a lap quilt that I made in '02 when I was teaching a class at my church. I enjoyed working on it at the time, and am still pleased with it. The second photo is of a Grandmother's Fan block in the lap quilt that I added tatting to. It is some yellow shuttle tatting that I found in my mother's things. I think she originally intended to put it on a pillowcase, but never did. Mother had Alzheimer's disease the last 14 years of her life, and I still have not gone through a lot of her things she left. I think she would be pleased that I learned to needle tat, as I could never learn to shuttle tat. She successfully taught my daughter, though, and I gave her Mother's shuttles. I also have used tatting around the outside of a Hello Kitty small quilt. I like to incorporate tatting into other projects I make. I am also working on 2 afghans for the homeless this winter, granny squares, and a pair of socks. Oh, and the Wonderful Wallaby. Back to work now.......

Oh I love it! You did a wonder full job. The quilting is terrific and so is the tatting. I have yet to learn that but I am sure I will try it too. I have some of those fabrics also. I am working on a lap quilt...well it will be king size but it is using lap quilting technique. It is a sampler too. You can see mine here. Mine does not look as nice as yours.
Nice work.
One day, I will learn to quilt. *sigh*
