Glowing Stars
 

In 1999 I drafted the centre Mariner's Compass at a retreat by Diane Jansson (sp?) Then it sat in the closet until 2013 when Elisabrat and Jaba here on the QB started a Round Robin where you worked on your own project, they posted each month's directions. I think it was 2015 when that ended, and back in the closet the top went. Last year I decided to finish it off, and did some machine quilting, but also did big stitch hand quilting, so in 2021, I have a finish! Yay! https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png
It is a 53" square

Beautiful finish to your WIP from 1999 - congratulations! Bet that feels wonderful!

Oh, that's so pretty! You did wonderful work.

It was nice to hear Elisabrat and Jaba's names mentioned, both having passed on.

Are there pictures anywhere of the other quilts from that RR?

I found the old thread on it by searching for "compass" and my user name and there are photos in it, unfortunately my old PC doesn't let me do links on the QB anymore, so hope you can find it.

It’s lovely - congrats on finishing it!

When I searched within QB I found https://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks...g-t236801.html and it has 1770 posts. It will take a while to go through the thread. After I found the name of the thread I tried searching images on google & duckduckgo. Neither had a whole lot of pictures.

Janey - Neat people never make the exciting discoveries I do.

Long time coming but well worth it! Beautiful quilt.

That's a real beauty. I know you are glad to have it finished.

Very pretty quilt. Good to have it done.

Sew pretty, I just love the colors you chose, congratulations on the finish, it was worth the wait!
