Finally! And well worth the wait. Machine quilting is awesome but there is nothing quite like a hand quilted quilt coming out of the dryer. It's so soft and puckered and pretty. I am in love with this quilt. My BQFF and I started this quilt together. It was featured in a McCalls Quilting Magazine dated April 2005. She made hers like the
pattern, in pastels. I decided to do mine in jewel tones. I changed mine more by not adding the last border. It took me a year and a half to handquilt this. And it was well worth the wait. I am going to hang this in my front entry. It measures 64" x 70".
How lovely - I love it!!I want to see it hanging in your entryway now!! I just embarked on the last stages of handquilting my 'Something for Nothing' baby quilt - that's been hanging around for too long while I work on commissioned quilts.

ReplyDeleteLinda, your quilt is just beautiful! I checked out the pattern link. You made a better choice in fabrics than the original. The jewel tones just glow. Congratulations!
