The next step in this quilt was of course the quilting.
I sent it to the wonderful Rosalie of Rose Quilting
The lovely fan style quilting in the 'circle' blocks and the 'square fans' in the outside of the circles
a feather in the border
cross hatching over the pretend embroidery blocks
a larger feather in the external border
The whole quilt on my bed
and hanging at the quilt show over Easter. You can't really see it here but I bound it with a wavy edge to mimic the effect of the ricrac in the quilt. The binding is the 3 colours in a random placement.
and from a distance while we were setting up.
So in case you can't tell, I love the quilt. At a healthy 90 x 99" it is great on our bed & when hubby rolls over and takes the quilt with him, there is still some left for me.
Catch you again soon with some quilt show photos.
That is absolutely magnificent Debra - I can't imagine the kind of patience and talent that goes into creating something like this - just beautiful!!!
