Finally completed the last block of my quilt !
It has been nearly two years, although I have done many other projects at the same time.
I'm still planning to do an applique border and eventually will have it quilted.
I had some visitors in my garden to keep me company with their magnificient appearance...
Sometimes the dog scared them away so they still kept me company from the safety of the trees...
Now that the weather is so much better, I have been dividing my time between quilting and gardening. This past weekend, I planted some vegetables and other plants.
Some more beautiful roses from my garden...
I love your original block. How exciting to have all the blocks finished. They look great together.
ReplyDeleteHello Celia,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, your blocks are so stunning.
Happy days.

The blocks are superb Celia and it is going to be a really special quilt. Love the photos taken in the garden. Take care.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your awesome finish. You've must have spent so many hours stitching all those tiny pieces.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt will look amazing.
Now that I'm into needle turn I can evaluate the gigantic task that making those blocks was.
I'm still struggling with stitching small circles, they don't look very round, have to try harder.
Beijinhos,
Teresa

Congratulations - all 20 done. That must feel good. I have only 9 of them, but I intend to finish one day. Beautiful roses and lucky you to have these nice visitors in your garden, great.
ReplyDeleteIt will be a gorgeous quilt! I can imagine the hours of work you already spent on it!
ReplyDeleteCelia,
ReplyDeleteValeu a pena o trabalho de horas nesta colcha que ficou magnífica! Isto é um verdadeiro tesouro!
Visitas de pássaros são sempre bem vindas ao jardim, são complementos das flores que estão lindas.

It's really been fun watching your progress on this quilt and I know you're going to do an amazing border to finish it all off! Any ideas how you'll be setting the blocks?
ReplyDeleteIt's been fun watching your progress on this quilt and I look forward to seeing your border! Are you designing it yourself or did the pattern suggest one? Do you know how you'll be setting the blocks?
ReplyDeleteCelia dear, you have done an amazing work on your hand applique...I am so inspired cos I like to do hand applique too more than machine applique. Very well done Celia dear though it took you a long time to complete but at last it will be a treasure for you and family.
