Just had to show you my quilt that I finished last night. Many, many hours went into it's making. This is the first small pieced one I have done. Most others have been larger squares made for Project Linus. This one is for me! It is 54"x72", quilted using the embroidery machine, 151 hoopings (12 hours for just the hooping and stitching of those designs). The designs are from Embroidery Library. If you click on the picture you may be able to see the designs I used for quilting it.

Wonderful quilt. You did a great job. Very eye catching. I just do large blocks. I am afraid I would never finish one with small blocks.

This is stunning Carolyn. Lots and lots of work with all the borders etc. I know I've done those little squares. I love the star quilting too. Exceptional job. Love Chris

Thank you so much. The border did take a lot of time. Since it put it on the bias that presented a challenge to keep from stretching.

Thank you. This is the first quilt I've kept. It also took much more work.

Thank you! It was nice to finish it but then I felt empty. Guess it is time to get back to embroidery!

You Quilters are just so clever. Quilting frightens me. I am so scared to mess it up. This is beautiful. Lyn
