All Done!!!!!!! :)

Hello!  :)

Yes it is DONE!!!!  I'm soooo happy! I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out!!!  :)  Here it is . . .


And the back (not that you can see much - well maybe if you enlarge it) . . .


I tried to take a close up picture of the hand quilting but you really can't see too much.


In the borders I stitched four-petal flowers in every other square with a loop in between with white. In the strip sections I stitched larger four-petal flowers with 2 loops between with white. For the blocks I outline stitched them in red and used white to outline all the shapes in the blocks. As for the smaller block sections between them I stitched one, two or three, five-petal flowers on some of the larger squares using yellow for the centers and either red, pink, blue, or dark blue for the petals. Here it is all folded up . . . 


And one last peek at all that Pam Kitty Morning goodness! I love that fabric and it really made this quilt a treasure for me.  :)


That you Chookyblue for cracking the whip as I wouldn't have finished without it!  :)  I live in the US so I actually still had about 32 hours left.  ;)  Thanks to everyone for making it so fun to stitch-a-long with you!  :) It's been fun! I'm hoping there's another fun quilt coming next!

Until Next Time . . .

I think this is by far my favourite version of this quilt. Love the Pam Kitty fabrics and the change to the outer border really frames the quilt beautifully. Congratulations on a gorgeous finish.
