[QUOTE=KathyAire;4955856]Love your quilt. Great job. I'm doing the same BOM and I'm three months behind. It is fun to work on. Hope mine looks as good as yours does. I'm doing the machine applique, as well. Don't have the patience for hand work.
Congratulations on the ribbons.[/QUOTE)
Would love to see what you've done and what you're going to be doing. Send a pic when you can.
The first time I ever saw the quilt, was on the wall in QUILTS BY THE BAY, in Galveston,TX...It had been a block of the month there a couple of years before then. The back ground on the quilt there was in navy blue, but I decided to do it in black. I bought the patterns then and there and as soon as we got off vacation, I started working on itafter a few months... that was 2005 and DH was working out of the country and I was travelling back and forth. It's was slow going with work and everything else going on in our lives, but I got most of the blocks done in about 6 months time...In late 06 I got the inner borders done and then we decided to downsize, I was still working some, DH was now overseas.... I finally put it away for a while... DH retired. We moved in mid 07 and bought a 1902 house that needed lots of work, so that's what we did until April of 11 and I unpacked the quilt and finished the 4 outer borders, sent it to the quilter and finished it by September of 11.
Hopefully it won't take you near as long to finish yours...please keep me posted on your progress!
Hugs....
PM me if you want to.
Unfortunately, Katrina took out QUILTS BY THE BAY, along with a lot more in it's path and aftermath.
