Well after working on this for one year I can definately say that I am glad that it is done! The middle section is a pattern from a magazine but the last outside row on both sides & the yellow & red blocks are my own additions in order to make it a queen size quilt with overhang. There is no need for it to have top & bottom overhang as I have a footboard & it wouldn't show. I am thinking of making pillow slips to go with it, but I am in need of quick & cute & simple for a time! I have 4 more on the go!

you can double click the picture and see a larger view of this photo
It has been hand appliqued on pretty much every pieced part!I just finished the top today!
also when it gets quilted I have crytals & fancy buttons & a string of lights & such that all has to be put on
Please post a pic when all the crystals and buttons are on.
I will, but I have to wait for my dh to put it on the rack for me, I can't do that part @ all. Maybe by the end of MArch

Great quilt!! I LOVE the dancing reindeer at the top!!
I have a fairy quilt that took me 16 years to finish (I didn't do applique very well! lol).. so I think you had GREAT timing! hehe

Very nice - someday when I grow up - I too will get a quilt done. LOL Pillow shams would be nice - I am sure that you will find something that will work for you.

thanks Beth, I think sew too! Hugs Loralye

Very Nice! You could do the shams with a solid color from the quilt and just put a single design in the middle. That would make it simple. You did a great job on this!

thank you Chris, I'm happy to see it done, This is my first time doing a whole quilt with applique & fusible & I have to say I'm not a fan! It's way to hard to stitch through the fusible! Hugs Loralye
That's applique by HAND!

IT IS & THANK YOU! I REALLY ENJOY THE PROCESS! WHEN I GET CLOSE TO COMPLETING A QUILT,(especially if I worked on it for along time) I LIKE TO KEEP GOING UNTIL I GET IT DONE! I worked on the last 3 rows both sides, both Friday & Saturday almost non-stop!Now I like to sew quick & easy!
