It still needs to be sandwiched and quilted. The snowmen all need buttons added, but they will get in the way of the quilting, so I will add them last.
I added the corner star units last night.
For now I will just fold it up and tuck it away--never to see the light of day again. No, no, just kidding. I need to finish the one I am quilting now before I start this one.
Yes, Linda, I have one of those BIG quilt frames, but I never use it. I like the smaller round hoops so I can sit in the lazy boy in front of the TV.
Debbi, It's next in line to be quilted. But that may not be until fall.
Dianne, Interesting you should mention that. I've been thinking of doing a floral. Do you remember way back when I bought those quilting books, I showed a pic of some very detailed paper-pieced florals with insanely tiny pieces? I said I'd never be able to make one of those. Well, I think I may be ready to try one now. We shall see.
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

I am using my dining room table to baste this big one -- it's about 105 x
105 inches (king size).
It's been a while since I've finished one this big.

ReplyDeleteMy goodness, you do good work!
Do you then hand-quilt your work?
Do you have one of those big quilt frames?
Great Quilt! I sure hope you do not tuck it away forever. I hope you finish it to use next winter.
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I hope you finish it someday! ; )
ReplyDeleteI'm waiting to see a 'Flowers of Zoey's garden quilt'.
The quilr looks great! I really like the material on the edges. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThanks, ladies.

Jean, Thank you. We were posting at the same time. :)
ReplyDeleteOh Zoey, it looks just beautiful! You certainly made all the right decisions of what pieces to put where and the finished product is fabulous!!
