I'm excited to have this quilt finished and to share all I have learned from this project. It is the first time I have machine appliqued and I think I got fairly good at it :0). I did my birth date 1-3-53 in thread painting which I have never tried before.....I did okay but not as well as I would have liked. Lastly some machine quilting. I made pumpkin seeds ,swirls and flowers, did some echo quilting and on the outside border some straight line quilting. And I got it finished before I turn 62!
I want to thank Randy and Lori for this terrific sew along and inspiring me to mark my 60th year.
Happy Sewing, Kim

What a beautiful quilt. Love those colors and your applique looks great.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing - what a great quilt. I also did a Diamond Jubilee quilt and finished it just before my 62nd birthday too. I was glad they let us oldsters join in. :) It's a great memory.
ReplyDeletecongrats on your Jubilee finish and thanks for posting on the blog. I'm hoping to finish mine this year!

ReplyDeleteThat's a beautiful quilt! I love how the black sets off the jewel tones. Very dramatic.
