Thread Tales From A Scrappy Quilter

It's almost complete!   Waiting for binding, which I hope will take place tonight.   This was a Charlotte Angotti mystery class I took with The Woodlands Area Quilt Guild, hmmmm closing in on 2 years ago?!     My personal sewing time is so limited.  It's sad that my time has to be last but you do what you have to do!   I enjoy longarming for others most of the time (LOL!) and family matters come before sewing time as well.   I know many of you that work and have children at home know exactly where I'm coming from.       It's almost bed sized.   I really needed to add another row of blocks to each side plus this border to get a good 100" quilt like I prefer for a bed quilt.    I realized too that I omitted the gray sashings that came with this class kit.   Those sashings would have brought it up closer to a bed size too!   Drat....

I can finally post this one!  The quilt was made by the board members for the outgoing president of one of the guilds that I belong to and quilted by me.   It was presented to her last week and she seemed thrilled.   It's in colors she loves.  The pattern is  from a Charlotte Angotti mystery class a few years ago. I quilted this with a hand guided panto called Wedding Bouquet over the body of the quilt and finished with custom echoed swirl and feather borders.
