The binding is finally on and my Lily Quilt is finished! It's been a WISP (work in slow progress) from the very beginning. I first posted about this quilt Oct 14/2009. That's slow even for me.
But today as I take a few pictures - I still love it.
I especially love the texture of the handquilting.
I struggled to choose binding for this quilt. I wanted a softer look with a creamy beige but my quilty friends as well as the quilt kept telling me it needed blue. I was happy to find this older blue at the LQS as most of the fabrics in this quilt I used up a long time ago.
It's 82 inches square.
I finished the hand quilting in 2018 so I think the date is close enough ;0) This is usually all I do for a label so in years to come maybe someone will think I made it on the occasion of my 18th birthday - lol!
Of course as soon as I finish something I have to start something new! Barbara Brackman started a mystery applique BOM called Hospital Sketches on her blog
Civil War Quilts. I was delighted with the first block.
Block #2 comes out next Wednesday. I can't wait!
And, slowly I am making progress with handquilting my Trailing Vines quilt. I am outlining all of the leaves. There are a lot of leaves in this quilt! I have finished the first of 13 panels and started on the second. I will need to think of something to quilt in the narrow sashing.
Happy Quilting!!

Reqardless of how slow the progress was, the finish was amazing.
Your quilts are always fabulous and this one is no exception. The quilting is gorgeous. And your family will enjoy this one for a long long time. Trailing Vine will be another favorite one soon.
