Two Years in the Making

I try my hardest to finish

quilts that I start.

I do have a few quilt tops that

have yet to be quilted.

This monster of a quilt sat in

my quilting room closet for

two long years.

I had every intention of quilting it

by hand because of it's size.

It is 118" x 102".

My poor sewing machine would

never be able to handle it.

Or maybe like, I would not be able to. 

I looked at it several times,

thinking, I will never finish this

and that would just not do.

So, I packed it up and sent it off

to be quilted.

(Let me tell you, it

wasn't easy to let it go)

This was to be the first quilt that

I had not quilted.

I just got it back a few days ago and

have had it long enough to put the

binding on it.

I absolutely love the way it turned out.

I chose a poppy design for the entire quilt.

It would have taken me years to complete

and I would have never been able

to give it to its intended owner

without knowing my limitations.

And so Here is my big Finish!

(I hope my parents are enjoying

their new quilt.  Only a few years late!!)

A big thank you to Missouri Star Quilt Company

for taking such good care of it.
