I'm not totally happy with it (hence the title which is a quote from 'The Hobbit"). Creativity stalled out on me several times and I had to give myself a good old fashioned talking to...."Get upstairs and get that Dragon finished" I said.... And then I would find something else I needed to do. sooooo long story short, I did finally finish it and I'm happy that it is done!

To start out with, your quilt is awesome. Your son did a great job creating you a pattern and you have totally outdone yourself on the quilting. It is amazing. There is no way I could ever produce such a treasure. Please know you have done a great job and so did your Son. Thanks for sharing with us such a wonderful quilt.
