Well I've posted this one before but it was in pieces.
I finished it just before Valentine's day this week, and am posting the finished product! Machine pieced and hand quilted.
I went back to see when I downloaded the pattern and in was January 14, 2011!

Some of you may remember I sewed on borders and then took them off, and that I also ran out of fabric but found it again out of state. Boy was I lucky! It pays to shop often...I finally went with my gut on the colors for the borders and am glad I did not listen to folks who told me it was too monochromatic. I really like the binding fabric-so bright and cheery.

The backer is plain muslin and was a really nice, soft piece I found at Hancocks. On Sale, no less.

​Beautiful and great hand quilting!

It is beautiful and I like monochromatic quilts as well as colorful ones. I also like the pop of the bright red binding.

It often takes me years to complete a project as well, especially if I hand quilt it. Is there any way we can entice you to snap a few close ups of the different quilting motifs you used? I would love to get a better look.

Actually I have some close-ups before it was totally finished.

Here is a link, I hope, (on this site) to what I am working on next. Just starting to mark the quilting.

A third quilt is in the thinking stages. this is about as much as I can handle at one time!
