If you remember that The Big Fig Newton commercial (a fav in our house!) from way back when, then you will know the ceremonial dance I did this morning when I was able to put this up on the wall:
I am proud to report (I think) that the only fabric purchase for this was the reds. Stash busting for the rest!
I'm thinking of handquilting this one, the blocks are all hand pieced or hand appliqued so it only seems right, right?
I'm just pleased as punch to be able to have one top finished this year. Maybe there's hope to have the hand quilting done this year too!
mmm, what to work on next...
Hugs and Stitches!
Megan
P.S. If you must see the dance....go here!
Congratulations! You deserve to dance. It is gorgeous!!

Just beautiful!! And almost all from your stash! Quilts like this are what having a stash is all about :0) Hand quilting will be a fabulous way to finish this.

It is so pretty, I love how you want to hand quilt it. I am not so brave!

P.S. I love the name of your blog. I wish I'd thought of it first!

Your quilt is fabulous. What pattern did you use, or are you one of those very clever people who do your own thing.
Cheers Sue
