I set as my goal finishing the Dogwood Blossom quilt (click here to see the details).
This past faux Sewing Summit weekend, I finished it.
the back:
I hand quilted around each blossom using perle. I machine quilted (using a teal Aurifil) in the sashing.
I really love it. I loved learning the new techniques, having never really appliqued before. I don't, however, think it's supposed to stay with me. My relationship with quilts is weird. I kind of "know" when it's supposed to stay with me and when it's for someone else. I just haven't figured out who yet. Hrm.
Anyway, it's done! So wooooo! GOAL!!!!!!
Now, I just have to pick something for October. Hrm (again).

Gorgeous! Love the fabrics you used and the hand quilting :-)
So gorgeous Ella! You go girl!!
Nice. Congrats on the finish.
Stunning, I love this finish! I'm on a huge hand quilting kick and kind of want to hand quilt ALL the things right now. This quilt is a stunner! Also if it's looking for a new home, my house could be of service ;) I have yet to keep a quilt so our house is a tad chilly :D
Fabulous! Love your colors!
Beautiful quilt! I love the colours and the hand quilting.
