Finally Finished Something...

I purchased this  beautiful quilt kit way over a year ago, and spent an earnest few weeks meticulously following directions - cutting out squares and rectangles ad nauseum, and making a gazillion flying geese blocks, all in preparation for what was supposed to be a quick assembly. Then I injured myself last July and never managed to get myself back on track. While I was at the retreat last month I finally got my butt in gear and was amazed to find how much my "pre-work" helped when it came to assembling the blocks and getting the top finished. And finish it I did...

I'm so happy with the way it turned out... I really, really like it! I've been having a discussion with myself as to whether I should attempt to quilt it myself, or assign the task to one of the several excellent long-arm quilters I know.  Letting someone else do it is probably going to win out for several reasons: I have some specific ideas that I'm really not able to execute because my free-motion quilting chops aren't up to snuff, and, I really, really love this piece and don't want to have it poked full of holes from quilting I've had to "unsew". Besides, I have another top ready to quilt that I CAN handle, and want to get started on it.
