Well, it's been so long that I've actually looked at the blocks (last November) that I'd forgotten that I had actually done some of the sashing! A bad memory is also a good thing, in that sometimes odd surprises are in store!
All of a sudden I just had to get all the components up on the design wall. It was a bit overwhelming, actually, to see a couple years of poking away at this quilt finally close to being complete.
I stayed up too late last night watching the Tragically Hip concert so I'm moving a bit slow this morning. I think I'll spend a bit of extra time with some stitching on my FlowerGarden.
This is probably the largest piece on the quilt...one of the pots. It's probably 10" across, but quick and easy to applique...
I am linking up with Kathy over at Kathy's Quilts and with Cynthia for Oh Scrap! at Quilting is More Fun Than Housework.
I think it's a perfect day to visit some blogs and poke away at my stitching while taking in the final day of the Rio Olympics.
Have a good one!
what an inspiring quilt. how long has it taken?

ReplyDeleteYour flower garden is gorgeous and you are so close to the quilting stage. Are you going to long arm quilt it for the CQA show next year?!?!
Your quilt is going to be stunning! Worth every little stitch. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWatching the Olympics wrap up is my plan too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely surprise to figure out that you are miles ahead of where you thought you were! Your quilt is beautiful and I'm certain that it will be a thrill for you to have it all put together.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be the best part of making a large appliqued quilt. For me it's like is that real or am I having a dream! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is a beauty. I am looking forward to seeing the end result.
