Well it only took 5 years but I finished my Crowfoot quilt! Here in the evening sunshine I think you can see the texture created by the handquilting. I love this marvellous texture!
I have to deliver it tomorrow to the park for the outdoor show this weekend. Last Monday I realized I had just days to finish it.
I'd been slowly working on the fill-in parallel lines between the feathers in the border and the outside edge. Not very exciting to quilt I had left it all for the end. And then there was binding fabric to find, make binding, apply and handstitch down. This quilt is 94 inches square and I "burned the midnight oil" a few nights last week to get it done by Friday.
We went away for the May long weekend and got home this evening but there was still daylight left for a few outside pictures.
Maybe too many pictures :0)
Here it is on our bed where it will go when I get it back from the show next week.
I started quilting it 21 months ago. I am excited to start quilting the next project but it's not quite ready yet. I feel a little lost with nothing to put in my hoop. I will get it ready soon!
Happy Quilting!!
