My daughter's quilt...
Tara's quilt is just about finished. It has been quilted - by my friend, Colleen. I had begun to hand quilt it - but, it was going to be at least a year before it would be finished ... and with the size of the quilt - I felt that machine quilting it would be best.
Showing it off for at the guild meeting where Colleen delivered it that night.
The quilt is a almost a king size one - well, it fits on top of a king size bed - and my daughter has a queen size bed - so, it will hang over the side.
There is a record of the number of pieces in this quilt, but I don't have it handy - none of the colored fabric blocks are the same...none! Now the binding will be added (again - none of the fabric will be the same as is in the quilt already) and a signature block will be added to the back - with a border of 2-1/2 inch squares surrounding it - they won't be the same fabrics as are already in the quilt either...Hopefully, it will be in the mail to her in the next month.

Wow!!! You did a great job!
Absolutely stunning, Sara! I'm sure she'll be ecstatic over it!
Fabulous! and that's the truth!
Beautiful quilt, Sara! And I'm amazed that you even attempted hand quilting something that size.
I'm Erinyes on Ravelry-Stitchwitch was taken.
Sarah! That's beautiful! And the fact that it's also a fabric archive of fabrics from this time period. Congratulations on nearing the finish line with it as you get the binding done.
Excellent work!!
I have two beautiful quilts. One was made by my aunt in Charlotte, NC. It's simple and delicate so I don't use it too much. It's in the linen closet. My aunt said I CANNOT wash it in the machine. I will have to bring it to the cleaners if it needs to be clean. Oy, imagine the dry cleaning bill on that one.
The second one is a beautiful (mass produced, I assume) quilt I got in Paris in January 2006. I use it to cover my unmade bed when I have company over. Who makes the bed anymore? That is so 16-years old when mom tells you you HAVE to make your bed. :-)
What a beautiful quilt. Your daughter is so lucky!
Love it! Absolutely gorgeous!
Its gorgeous Sara! She will love it!
That is Magbificent Sara! A True Work Of Art....I wish we could see some close-ups of all those varied and many colors! This is truly AMAZING!
