I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

Thanks @Iminei for posting the pic :* But I have to admit that this is just the finished quilt-top, not the entire quilt.

A good friend of mine just got a new longarm-machine this summer and she will make the longarm-quilting for me. :D

I am so glad too that this is done now.  :dance: As Iminei said, I took me a while to complete it, and the crucial point was that a very very very nice friend of mine reminded me with a recent fatquarter-suprise to catch up with this wonderfull hobby again  0_0 :*

OMG  that is drop dead gorgeous @Sakar ! I love cheddar and blue quilts. The combination is always stunning to me.

There are 2 finishes in quilting. First the flimsy (quilt top) and then a completed quilt. One of the Gee's Bend quilters, in an interview in one of the books about them, said something to the effect that having finished quilt tops in a cupboard was like having gold in the bank. You could make them when you had the time and fabric. That then it was easy to add a filler and back.

For them all quilts were utility quilts quilts and heavily used. A lot of time the kids slept on piled up quilts, no bed available.

So be proud of any quilt top you finish.
Hey Bill! Read the manual!  Hehehe.
