Done...

I know!  A project that I started and ultimately finished.  It is a simple twin-size patchwork quilt and I started it a year ago.  Last night, I finished it.  Holy crap. 


Why did it take me a year to finish?  Because I HAND quilted every freaking three inch square, by HAND, WITH--MY--HANDS, and a needle of course. 


Doesn't that seem like a lot of work for a blanket?....

  3. It is great! Maybe next time you might want to try a new fangled thing they call a sewing machine to quilt it though. They say it makes finishing a quilt so much faster but who knows...lol. Just picking at ya!

    I do love the colors you picked out for it though and your stitches look really even.

  4. Lisa it is beautiful. I love the blue. It will last a hundred years if taken care of. Just think, you created a bit of history to pass on.

  5. It may seem like a lot of work for a blanket, but not for an HEIRLOOM! Your grandchildren will surely run their fingers over those tiny stitches and think of you.....It is a stunning quilt. Well done!
