I am not really happy with my border quilting, but we do learn from our mistakes, so this is a learning quilt!!!  I did have fun putting it together and trying lots of designs!!!  Hope it will be done for the Paris show, but......  I will put the pictures just regular size, this way it...............
OH, I used two baddings, one cotton and one wool, so it is nice and puffy like trapunto!! the rose blocks I love, think I did a good job on those, but then.....

    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...
