Bouquet is done

-
 I still need allot of practice, but I am slowly getting the
feel of Mom, my ovals are so so and I still don't have the hopping foot width in my eye, but with time.....
I  am still pleased because this top was in the box for
over 10yrs and  now it is done, and I did it!  the final texture of  my bouquet I think is good, there are puffs and flat spots just like I wanted, maybe should have used 80/20 but for now just have 100% cotton.

Looks great! I find with my wallhangings that after they hang for awhile the quilting gets more defined. Or maybe it's in my mind-but I like them better after they have "settled".

    Today I can say "thirty years in waiting"  is finished I had made a queen size quilt with these fabrics and I missed it so that I had started another but put it away for a rainy day.    So happy that I found the box many years later and was able to get it finished at last!! A nine patch or simple irish chain, so off I went with my box, and this is what it turned into.... I am so pleased, and it is big enought to use on the dining room table. I have a few squares left, maybe enought to make a place setting or something. The quilting design is from My Creative Stitches  Monday Patch Vacation time is over and we are back to our art!! Two of the gals have finished their giant wedding ring, one is ready to be quiltied and another is alread to go on the table.  Quilting in lines, it turned out really nice. Another double wedding ring but traditional  still lots of pieces to sew, but it is going to be beautiful ! Someone is starting her birds, ravens...
