The pattern is Faceted Jewels and is usually done in jewel tones that I've seen. I'm still working on hand sewing the binding and really need to take a couple of evenings and get it done!

Looking back I found that I started this quilt on Nov. 17th, 2010. It was a whole lot of work and there were months at a time that I didn't work on it. I got it on the quilting frame probably 5 months ago? (not sure). My machine was working so horribly that I gave up after spending more time trying to get it stitching well than I was actually quilting.
Yesterday I just walked into the room and started quilting. No warming it up, no testing, nothing. Of course it worked just fine and I finished the quilting this morning. I have the binding about ready to sew on so it will be almost a year in the making. It's for my daughter and maybe THIS Christmas she'll get it.

Your daughter is going to love this stunning creation! I've heard other quilters say much the same thing about coming back to a project and suddenly being able to accomplish it. Maybe your subconscious mind was working it out?
