A job well done. Your quilt is beautiful. No matter how long it took, it is now completed.
Love it. It was this pattern that attracted me first to stitchery quilts. It's on my list too. Good on you for persevering.
Well done Beth - it must feel so good to have it finihed - and well done on hand quilting too.
PS - I've updated the side bar
Always a great feeling to finish a quilt - no matter how long it has taken to make! Well done!
