I am really happy with it. It is 41" x 60".
The row of yellow dots went up at the top. The lavender ones went below the numbers, the soft green went below the house, and pink ones are at the very bottom. Now I am working on piecing the backing and making binding.
I also have to figure out how to quilt it, which is going to be interesting because I don't have a longarm machine, and my elderly Kenmore is not designed for stipple quilting.

ReplyDeleteYour quilt top is truly awesome! What a beautiful quilt...it really does look like an old-fashioned sampler, and so personal. I think that's the best part! Oh, and thanks for sharing how you made your hand. Very enlightening and educational. It was fun to watch this one evolve and grow!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! Can't help but admire those wonky stars.... thanks for letting us be a very small part. It was a lot of fun watching it come together.

It's perfect! The quilting part is always a difficult decision on these kinds of quilts. Good luck with that.
ReplyDeleteMomBean says she has to go visit now to try and sneak it back to Maryland...
ReplyDeleteI told her it wasn't worth the world of hurt if she got caught.
What a beautiful quilt top. Very bright and pretty.

C'est superbe .... congratulations
ReplyDeleteIt's great. I've loved watching it's progress and it really does remind me of a sampler.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations.
Ingenious! I am very impressed by the clever way you figured out how to piece your hand rather than applique it. I love the quilt. It is reminiscent of a cross-stitched sampler but your quilted spin makes it sing!
ReplyDeleteas usual, i will gloat about how AMAZING it looks in person. the red row of squares are perfect, as are the blue, and yellow ones. It's got PUNCH.
ReplyDeletebeautiful work Mom!
this quilt is spectacular. I agree with others that it reminds me of the old time samplers. You did a great job with the layout.
