If it weren't for A Lovely Year of Finishes I may have never finished this. It's been about ten months since I finished the quilt top, and since I've only been quilting for 15 months... At that point I'd only machine quilted with stitch in the ditch, so I thought I'd hand quilt. I only hand stitched around the center squares and it still took forever and ever.
Not much to say. I'm so tired of this quilt it's not even funny. Started off with Kona solids in both parties favorite colors, but that looked flat so I added some prints & Pure Elements empire yellow (I love that color so much!) and it helped some. This sure isn't my favorite quilt to date, but uh..it's done! *happy dance*
Yes, its horrific isn't it? |
But it's patched where it needed to be yesterday, washed and dried it and labeled, done and cat hair free! My dear ex DID joke "didn't you start that two years ago or something?" so I might smother him with it...
from the perspective of someone who didn't make it I can assure you that it is very nice. I'm sure they will love it!
