Eleanor Burns Machine-Quilted Finish Technique

My DD is going to graduate from high school in 2012 and I thought I would create a twin-size quilt for her college dormitory.  I began this in November 2010 ('cause I'm a busy gal and wanted to be ahead of the game) and am just now working on its completion.  The following pictorial displays Eleanor Burns' machine-quilted finish technique from her 1991 Quilter's Almanac Quilt Block Party, Series No. 3.  ISBN 0-922705-34-8

Part 2

Two rows down, two to go!  More later....including yellow sashing running left & right between the layers.

Have you ever used Eleanor Burns' quilting techniques before?
I learned this in a start-to-finish class at our local quilt shop!
How about you?
I sure do appreciate your comments - thank you!
