Second Queen-sized Finish
I posted this quilt top two and a half years ago....see that post HERE. (You can see however that I added additional bordering to it after that). This quilt has been a long time in the making! I made the first squares (about 9 of them) when we lived in Texas. Then later, when we were in North Carolina, and I attended Quilt Bee with Mom in Suffolk, Va every month, I made the rest of the squares. Once we moved here to Tucson, I decided I wanted a center medallion, and I added the appliqued and embroidered parts of the top...when I was done, I took the photos of the top, and then put it in the closet while I made a quilt for my daughter, and worked on some other projects. Six months ago, I decided I needed to get the top quilted, and I FINALLY finished yesterday!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on a beautiful finish! I just love that center medallion ! Wonderful colors / lots of hard work :)
ReplyDeletenice job, Marie. I can't believe that it is finally finished! But, doesn't it make you feel so good to have done such a large project?
ReplyDeleteWTG, Marie! One more UFO done...and a beautiful one at that. Loved the cable in the border...don't know if I will ever get the nerve to try that. Did you mark your quilt? I tried marking a few designs on one quilt, didn't like doing the actual marking....got the golden threads paper and LOVED it for that particular design...but don't like it for others. So it is a mixed bag with it.
