CELEBRATE ~ DONE!!!

Hurray for  D. O. N. E. !!!

My giant Flower Garden Quilt is complete.

cue the angels singing …

24 blocks and 4 borders

all applique

and 1" finished pieced sashing

My idea to add the borders after I quilted them worked out great.

You can see on the left, I covered the seam with a strip of matching fabric.

Doesn't the quilting look awesome from the back?!!

Most of applique was done by hand.

Yes …

I needle-turned those horses!

I am that awesome … once.

I did add a little wool

because …

well … I LOVE wool applique

and

some of the pieces were just too little or too curvy for me.

Quilting this was such fun.

I used lots of different fills.

It took me 1 year to complete 90%.

and another year to complete the last 10%.

I was really apprehensive about the whole "quilt-as-you-go" idea for the borders. I'm so very pleased with how it turned out.  

Now …

what to do with this all the gorgeousness?
