I know how it is on finishing a quilt.... it takes me a while too.... I'm working on a scrap Friendship and nine patch made from 2.5 squares....I work on it a little bit here and there.... all by hand.... no machine work.... but when I'm done I will post pics...... I'm looking forward to seeing urs....... :-)

Wow so many pieces it looks fantastic.

WOW a king size. Great job for your fifth quilt.

It's coming along great. I put out more qlts when I worked.

Very strong start!

it looks good that is a big project Good luck

After some smaller projects ( Mugsrugs and a tablerunner ) I finally found some time to work on my project again and I finished the first of the two quilttops. It´s not perfect but ok for my first huge project and my hubby likes it the way it turned out so far, so I keep it that way.

I hope by end of this week the second one is finished too and then I can start making my mind about the batting and more important about the quilting. I think I will draw it on a sandwich paper. Never done that before, but I hope with a lot of patience I will make it; I only have a small picture in the magazine and I need to bring it on the quilttop. :rolleyes:

Its looking real beautiful :)

Great work! Now I wish I had tried something like that with my RWB! Please show the finished quilt!

thank you, of course I will, but it will take some more time. I think the quilting part (preparing and quilting itself) will take a lot of time ;)

You are off to a great start! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

This is gonna be wonderful when finished.

Update ! After searching the forum intensive and reading a lot about quilting and counting my beginners skills to it I decided to paint it on sandwich paper and this week I started with the quilting part. This will take a while and I just wanted to share the start with you.

I found it so hard to decide on the right quilting patterns and I hope you like with what I came up.

I am done with Quilt 1 of 2.....finally. But health issues of my loved ones crossed my plans and took me away from my sewing room.

I am proud of myself and hope you like it too.

Beautiful Valor quilt.

You are sewing love into every stitch. When it is finished, he will treasure it and know that you love him. Fabulous quilt!

great start

WOW. Your quilting is super. Love it. BrendaK

I agree. I applaud your organization as well.

Awesome! It would make a great Quilt of Valor.

Thank you all so much for your lovely comments !!

Just started with part 2 today - now that he saw the first one done, my hubby can´t wait for the whole project to be finished :)...let´s see how long it will take me...

It took longer than I thought in the beginning, but due to my hubbies chronical illness that he became while I was working on this quilt for him, I couldn´t spend as much time as I planned, but today I finally finished the 2nd top and now I "only" must combine both tops and add the binding :)[ATTACH=CONFIG]592984[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]592985[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]592986[/ATTACH]

This is wonderful. You have done a beautiful job. It's gorgeous..

Good job!!

That is going to be a beautiful quilt. please share pictures when you have finished

wow great work

for sure I will :)

thank you all for your kind words.

I am done - I finally finished my quilt in November 2018. Unfortunately my hubbies health didn´t allow us to take pictures from the whole quilt until today.

Beautiful start with gorgeous fabrics. You are sure brave to make a King size but what a challenge and I would love to see it when you finish.
