The applique in the middle is something else I can see why it took so long in finishing. Its beautiful, colorful, large too.
Your work shows patience and expert stitches. Thank you for sharing this.

Stunning! You did an outstanding job!I adore this quilt, in fact this quilt is the first one I ever bought special quilt shop fabrics for. I have been so afraid to start on it Seeing yours makes me want to try it. Very beautiful!

I have my fabrics and the pattern, just haven't had the time to start. I have only done a little applique, so am somewhat intimidated. I guess I am looking to you for some additional inspiration and encouragement.
