This is the last report for Bonnie Hunter's September challenge. I'm happy to report that I completed my goal of finishing the hand quilting of my quilt! I am now working on sewing down the binding.
Here are the pictures of my quilt. (Please disregard the dates on the photos. I had to change my batteries in my camera and forgot to reset the date. I didn't notice it until I finished the photo shoot outside and I just wasn't going to go back outside. So, it is what it is.)
Week 4, I finished 7.5 hours of handwork. I got in 33.2 hours for the entire month. I'm still working on my annual Christmas ornaments (35). This week I also got a large quilt top finished. I'm also finishing up a UFO that will be a quilt top. It started out as a challenge with a limited amount of fabric and was about 40" by 40". Now, I'm adding borders and other elements to make it a big quilt.
If you didn't see my past blog posts for this challenge, you can find them here: Week 1, Week 2, Week 3. Also, go to Bonnie's latest post on the challenge HERE to check everyone else's progress to see how they did.

What a wonderful quilt! Glad you were able to finish!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful color choices. Lovely end result.
ReplyDeleteBrenda - this is sooo pretty - I really LOVE the little extra flowers, bugs? and buds I am seeing around the borders. I've admired this pattern for some time. Perhaps with your inspiration, I might get to it. Good job!
ReplyDeleteGreat job!!! Also forget to reset my camera sometimes. Makes me mad when I do that.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm almost finished with the binding! I ended up just completely taking the date off for future pictures, I'll see how that goes.
DeleteCongratulations, your quilt looks beautiful! I love the ladybirds (I think you call them ladybugs in America).
ReplyDeleteThanks! I didn't know they were also called ladybirds, that's cool! They weren't on the original quilt pattern. I added them as my something unexpected!
DeleteDear Brenda - my gosh, you did a wonderful job with the quilt itself, PLUS the hand quilting! It's a beauty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt! I don't know if you intended it or not but I feel like I could walk into a home of the 1940s or early 1950s and find your quilt on one of the beds. Really, it's just gorgeous!
