Good news…My quilt is done and off to the quilter..bad news…I forgot to photograph the last three appliqué blocks of Jan’s and Lauries…so…..you will have to see them from these shots from when Amy was stitching them together for me…
I used wool appliqués and hand stitched them using perle cottons.
This is block is block 34 I added a little more to Jan’s block to date and put my initials on the the quilt…
and then I replaced block 48 with an anchor…I could not find a closer picture but you can see it in the quilt with all the sashing near the middle top here…Amy and I had a few days of tag-teaming to get this done last week…while we were supposed to be on vacation! Thanks Amy…you know I appreciate all you do for me…even though you do not read my blog…everyone else will know I do.
I will post a new picture and the sashing/finishing directions when Maggie is done quilting it and we bind it….I also will have our sashing fabric available to purchase if you need a small cream/blue print to go with your blocks like ours shown here.
We did our best to finish this quilt and I hope that the one person who scolded me about not finishing the blocks each week and leaving her “blowing in the wind” (her words) can now finish her’s exactly like mine or has already completed it using the examples that have been posted in the facebook group from everyone else’s blocks…I do not like disappointing anyone….I knew we would get this quilt done but sometimes we live with too many deadlines and can only commit to what we can do at the time and that was my 6 blocks…but its all done now and I hope you all finish your quilt or are still happily stitching/plugging away on it…
Oh…I almost forgot…Jace has picked the winner of the bag of scraps/leftovers from making this quilt is…he can’t read yet, but he scrolled and landed on one and the winner is…
I have loved your color choices from the beginning. I would love to have your scraps as I have not finished the quilt either. I can incorporate your scraps into my quilt.
If this is you…please contact Amy at ahoefler@new.rr.com and she will get them in the mail to you!
This is a huge bag…it doesn’t look like it here but….trust me…she is going to love it!
Happy Monday morning…let’s get a lot done today! Lisa
