Below are pics of my "Evening Bloom" quilt that I finished today. It's based on a pattern of that name from the book called "Country Inn" by Barb Adams and Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs. Their version was a queen size, but I wanted a king size so I added the 3 borders to make it 100" x 100". All of the applique is machine done with a blanket stitch and I quilted it on my longarm. The bulk of the fabrics are from the "Rouenneries" line by French General, and I supplemented them with others that fit with them.

I started this quilt back in September 2010 on a business trip to India. In the evenings and weekends I sat in my hotel room, busily cutting and fusing shapes for the blocks. Glad to finally have this one completed!

WOW, WTG that came out beautiful!!!!

Eddie , WOW!!! Beautiful quilt and quilting. The image of you sitting in a hotel in India cutting up fabric into little pieces made me laugh. You are a dedicated master.

This is beautiful beyond words.

Me, too, and then I thought, "wonder what hotel he must have been in where he had an iron and surface to work on?"

Your work is always an awaited topic, Eddie!
