It IS a rectangle. Ruthy's parents obviously need practice imitating a quilt frame. :roll: :lol: :lol:

I forgot to get them to turn it around so you could see the completed back. Altogether, it's 6 x 8 blocks. the binding makes a two-inch border for the back.

the gray fabric doesn't actually have any pink tones mixed in. that's what happens when the light bounces off the lame' in the star. an unexpected bonus.

I promise, it's a rectangle. big enough to use as anything between a to-the-floor bedspread on a twin and a hangs-almost-to-the-bottom-of-the-mattress on a queen. in other words ... that sucker is BIG! :shock:

That is beautiful. I love gray/pink combination.

Beautiful. I will probably never be able to do anything like that, so all I can do is admire it from afar.

patricej

thanks very much. it's one of the very few quilts i've ever made that i wasn't completely sick of by the time i got halfway through. there was a bit of seperation anxiety when i had to hand it over. :lol:

I've used lame in small, very sturdily interfaced amounts before, and quilted carefully AROUND them I cannot imagine doing a whole quilt like that! You really have patience.

I just can't get over how the pink reflects, I wonder if it looks like that on her bed. Kind of a long name for a quilt ! but it is absolutely gorgeous! You and Tim and Ruthy can all be proud :wink:

patricej

you should be proud, too. for putting up with all my whining as i slogged through to the end. :P

kathy

you'll be getting a bill for that part! :wink:
