Thanks, everyone - I'm glad you like my quilt!
This is needleturn applique. I trace my design on the top fabric, then cut away a little at a time to stitch down. I like to sew in front of the tv so I can spend time with DH when he watches sports.
The quilting probably took over a year. It sounds like a long time, but I work full time, so I can only spend an hour or so in the evening quilting.
