And for a long time -- years -- it rested in the closet in the form of these blocks...
You might remember that I played with ideas on Electric Quilt to get to this:
And then, after some more piecing and sandwiching, it looked like this for a while in July:
(If you click on the photo, you can see how I quilted it, with a mix of straight parallel lines and in-the-ditch quilting to outline the star triangles.)
And as of yesterday, it looks like this, ALL FINISHED!
Well, okay. It needs to be blocked. And labelled. But it's finished enough for me to celebrate. I call it Independence Day.
Now, on to the next UFO!
Great! Congratulations.

ReplyDeleteThe quilt looks stunning. You must be elated. Hope you share it in October at the Ranch.
ReplyDeleteIt makes the heart sing! Congrats.
ReplyDeleteWow! What an accomplishment! It's really fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks absolutely beautiful. Those patterns sewn one by one is really difficult and time consuming. But you've finished it. All you hard work is paid off.
