I have been working on this for the last two months. I put the last stitch in the binding this morning.

The pattern is "Quilter's World" by Lori Holt. Although, I have to admit I cheated. Her pattern is for needle-turn applique, and I did it "Cut and Paste" with machine appliques.

The hand embroidery was murder for my carpal tunnel syndrome.

I did all of the quilting free motion on my domestic machine. It's the first time I've done feathers and echo quilting.

I am super excited about this one!

There was a spot on the quilt for a LQS punch card. I decided to copy my favorite LQS' punch card and put it onto my quilt.

I had gotten enough fabric for the back of the quilt, but I didn't take into account the directionality. To have the back fabric going the correct direction, I did some patchwork and put my label in an odd place on the back.

Thanks for looking!

I love the "theme" blocks, the border of pieced blocks, and I think your pieced back is divine.
