This first picture is under the fluorescent lights in my basement.
What a fantastic time I have had working on this. I know my applique skills were challenged and I grew as a quilter.
It's very large for a wallhanging - I have no idea where I will hang it once it is quilted. My daughters were hassling me last night because the border squirrels and birds could use a stitch or 2 of embroidery - eyes... Technically its not done :0) But close enough for me! It has unfortunaltely already gone into the ufo bin to await quilting. Hopefully it doesn't have to stay there too long.
And now - what next?!!
Happy Quilting!!

Wow this is just beautiful! And very cool that you changed things up and personalized it as no doubt the maker of the original quilt did too! Congratulations.
Such an incredible quilt. Wowsers, what an effort! Love the personal touches so much! Kudo's to you for finishing up the top! I bet you feel sort of lost without it.:)
Wow! What an awesome finish! Each beautiful block combines to make a one of a kind incredible quilt. Your applique skills are superb!
Congratulations! It is gorgeous! So beautiful, such a great job. It is one of the patterns I would love to make once, but am dreading starting such a huge project, don't know if I will ever finish it. I admire your skills and your stamina.
This quilt is awesome! Congratulations!
I love it when there are "personal touches" as Audrey says!
I have the pattern but didn't yet start it... think I have to live many lives to make all
the patterns I would like to make - and I think everybody here agrees which is comforting. :)
And I love how you made the border, too!
Best wishes!
Magnificent! Congratulations on a spectacular finish!
What a beautiful masterpiece and I love that you created some blocks of your own and your borders are just magnificent!! Congratulations on this wonderful finish.
Beautiful! So much work involved but oh so worth it. I am not a horse lover but that is one of my favorite parts of your quilt.
What an accomplishment! It is simply stunning. I would say it was well worth the effort.
Congratulations! It is amazing and such a piece of heirloom art! I have seen the original and it is spectacular, just like yours!
It's so wonderful!
Does that mean there will be embroidery on Friday? :)
Your work on this one is simply stunning. If you can't find a place to hang it, I have this large blank wall... :-)
Amazingly beautiful!
It is fantastic! I love it and I love that you personalize it.
OH MY ! YES YES YES
I have enjoyed watching you create this instant heirloom. I love all your touches and fabrics. The pinks just sparkle.
What an accomplishment! Congratulations can't wait to see how you quilt it.
I give you a Standing Ovation!!!
I commented on the CWB blog, but I have to say again, this is simply GORGEOUS! I love the changes you made to make it your own, and your border is the nicest design I have seen! Maybe it will be a cozy over-winter quilting project.
A beautiful finish, I know all the hard work and dedication you put into this. I love that it is personalized for your family - lovely added special meaning. Thank you for sharing your journey.
That is absolutely gorgeous! What a work of art, and an heirloom!!
Oh, J, it is fantastic! Great job on design and execution. Hand quilting?
THis is really a magnificent piece of work. You should feel so proud. A keepsake forever and to pass along. I'm in awe!
Just Fantastic! What a beautiful finish. I makes me want to pull my pattern out and get started.
I love the squirrels in your border. Don’t leave it in that bin too long.
