Just want to share the photo of my completed top...the last stitch was taken today, May 26th. I started this journey in November, 2010 as an applique novice and have learned so much along the way. The main thing I found out, is that there is so much more to learn:o) Now to clean up some stray threads on the back, do a careful pressing and make some final decisions about how it will be hand quilted. Then off to my long-arm quilter for basting...
(The photo was taken in our guest room which has just been painted and is totally empty of furniture - the only area large enough to spread this out and still couldn't get the whole quilt top in for a photo.)

Pat it is magnificent! It looks like it should be hanging in a quilt museum. Congratulations on a momentous finish.

Congratulations - your quilt is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Pat!! It is going to be a stunner when quilted.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking that it has been such a long time since we have seen someone's progress on their quilts and I was kind of missing it. Mine should be going to the quilter within the next few days to a week, so I am so excited about that. In fact, I will be piecing the backing today.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Pat! It's hard to get a picture of the entire top - I know!!! You did a wonderful job. I've been wondering what you all are getting done, too.
ReplyDeleteI love it!! Beautiful work!!
ReplyDeleteThan you everyone for the sweet comments. Being part of this online group has just made the making of this quilt that much more special. With each stitch & each completed block, the encouragement, tips & historical information have been invaluable.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing more completed tops & progress on the quilting.
Pat...it is a beauty, for sure!
