Congratulations on a spectacular quilt top...I can only imagine the hours you have in your EPP. It certainly is a beautiful finish.

Congratulations on your Great finish!

Yeah, I know lime green isn't for everyone - but it's probably my favourite colour! You should see my bedroom...

But I do think that setting the busy Passacaglia against a more neutral background shows the rosettes off better. Hope yours soon get to reappear from their bag, too!

Awesome and beautiful. A real accomplishment for sure. I commend you for your tenacity to complete it. I will look forward to seeing it again when you have it quilted.

Gorgeous!! You have motivated me to continue working on mine. I put it away after making the three big wheels.

La Passacaglia is normally using EPP (English Paper Piecing), however, I decided that's too much hassle with all those papers and the basting, so I just used traditional stitching. You basically make one rosette after the other and then link them together.
