It’s Done! And Beautiful!

A few months ago, I posted pictures of my “completed” quilt. That was in February. My Mom and Dad took it home with them, and they were going to get a lady my Mom knows to machine quilt it for me. Time passed, and one night, I got a call from my parents. Some of my Dad’s relative were over, and my Mom showed Muriel (my Dad’s cousin) the quilt top. Muriel decided that she would hand quilt it for my for Alan and my wedding gift.

We went back home to my folk’s place two weekends ago, and it was sitting on the couch for us when we got there. It’s absolutely beautiful.

I think we're going to have to get nicer bedding to match the quilt

If you can't see it, the detail in the boxes are squares, circles, stars and octagons

I’m so impressed that I made this. The finished product looks so different than when I last had my hands on it that it’s hard to believe it’s the same thing. I’m looking forward to getting more into the next quilt project, which is a blanket for Lem and Brad’s incoming Galaxar, who is due to show up in a couple of weeks. The quilt isn’t nearing anything ready to give away, I have two block completed, and bout 40 more to go, but it’s going to be absolutely amazing if this finished product is any indication.

I love curling up underneath the quilt and reading. Alan took a few pictures of that, but I don’t know how they turned out.
