Tonga Rhapsody
 
7 Attachment(s)
This is a block of the month I did a couple years ago and finally before Christmas I got the borders on and quilted for my sister and her husband for their Christmas present. This was probably one of the most time consuming quilts I have ever made. I grew to hate this quilt. I showed it to my sister when I was working on it and she loved it, so I knew from that day what I was going to do with this quilt. I free motioned feathers and swirls and stitched in the ditch the individual blocks. So this is one UFO done in 2013. The name of pattern is Tonga Rhapsody. Thanks for looking.

Gorgeous quilt. Don't know how you were able to part with it.

Lucy90 01-02-2014 03:36 PM

I have that pattern also. I got it a couple of years ago as the block of the month and can't make myself finish the blocks and put it together. I don't hate it but I don't like it!! Maybe I do hate it - anyway one of these days in the far future it may get done. If it ever gets done I will post a picture but don't hold your breath. It is one of the worst quilt blocks of the month I joined and to be honest have not joined any others. I did one on line that was Civil War and I did enjoy that.

I can understand when your heart is not into a quilt how difficult completing it can be. I must congratulate you on completing this quilt and though you don't like it, it is absolutely stunning! I love the colours and the fabrics are simply gorgeous. The quilting is outstanding. Well done for completing it! :)

You've got one gorgeous quilt there, and it's finished! The quilting is amazing; I love the colors; and I hope my sister is as happy with the quilt I gave her as your sister is going to be with this one!

ScrapQuilter 01-02-2014 07:21 PM

Sounds like a love/hate quilt......lol It is beautiful. You should be very proud of the quilt and I am sure your sister will be showing this quilt off to all her friends.
