this quilt was an international round robin i participated in in 2010---i finally got the final border on, quilted it- and finished the binding today-
my hubby loves this one (i do too of course) so when he came home and i told him i finished the binding he wanted to put it right on the bed!
the first pic is an (over all shot) but does not show the outter border---so the second pic is to show that border---then the third is highlighting the center-with appliqued fall leaves.

Merry Christmas everyone!
and
i get to mark a UFO off my list! yea!! a great way to close out the year

It was certainly worth finishing that one! What a beautiful quilt - the people in your Round Robin group are very talented.

Feels good to finish the ones that have been lerking for a while. Looks really great.

blondeslave 12-21-2011 03:30 AM

Lovely quilt!

ckcowl 12-21-2011 04:48 AM

thanks everyone for the compliments---slept under it for the first time last night---hubby says it's a bit heavier than the one it replaced (this one has cotton batting-the one i took off the bed had wool batting)
it really fits the bed nicely---i guess it's (a keeper :) )
it started out with me just wanting to learn Hawiian applique- making a block & having no idea what to do with it---so when the rr came up i sent it off---Wow! was i ever astonished with what it turned into---i never dreamed that center block had such (potential) :)

toadmomma 12-21-2011 05:13 AM

Very pretty, glad you got it done

happynana 12-21-2011 05:15 AM

sorry but no there is no pattern --- it is a round robin---meaning i made the center square---the hawaiian applique---then sent it the the next person participating who added a border around my center-and sent it on---each participant added a border right to the end with the triangle borders -then a recieved it back- and added the final border, quilted it and bound it-
so 7 people worked (added) their own ideas to it
i did add the appliqued leaves after i received it back also....it traveled great distances for a whole year...
so-nope---no one can make one just like it---it's all mine

CarrieC 12-21-2011 08:14 AM

Wow that is really NICE! I'm glad you finished it. Hope your MIL loves it!

Mad Mimm 12-21-2011 08:23 AM

That is a lovely quilt. I really like the fabric and colors - and whoever did the appliqued leaves did a lovely job. It's a beauty!!!

this kind of surprised me---not sure my mil will ever see it- but if she did see it i'm sure she would like it
she hasn't seen the last 3 quilts i've made for my own beds---i think in the 5 years we have been in our house she has been to our house twice---and yes-we get along fine- just don't live near each other-and when we get together it is usually somewhere else. anyway---:)
