A Finish!

I slow stitched on this Sunday all the way to the finish line!


HAPPY DANCE!!
Isn't it just too WILD?!!  I haven't enhanced this photo, it really is this bright and colorful in person.


I didn't quilt this one too heavy and this was my first time at BIG STITCHING.
Choosing concentric circles in each square.

Border quilting

Another block closeup.

The back.

This quilt is one I sewed 4 1/2 yrs. ago using inspiration from a Gwen Marston book I have.
One day I basted the top and then there it sat.  How should I quilt it?
I'm so glad the BIG STITCH thought came to me and I could finally get on with it.

Hubby says it is HIS and NO I can't give it away!
I said " not even for one of your great grand children coming in Feb?"

He still said "NO!"

It measures 48" x 60".
