It is Finished!! Oh Happy Day!!

Craftsy Block of the Month 2013 Quilt is officially finished today!
And that makes me quite happy!!

This is the back of the quilt. As you can see the quilting is dense. It ate up 3 spools of thread.

Another snapshot of the quilt looking at it from a distance in my garden. My neighbors were probably wondering why I was taking so many pictures of all things a quilt!

I borrowed my neighbors fence to take a picture of it.

Binding and sashing. I used the Quilt Halo by Sharon Schambers in order to have more control while free motion quilting the circular design on the sashing. I actually used two halos stacked up on top of each other. I purchased my first halo directly from Sharon Schambers when she had a booth set up at the American Quilt Show in Paducah several years ago.

Mike and I thought we might make plans to go in 2014. Here it is 8 months out and we can not find available hotel accommodations. While on AQS's website I learned that next year AQS is having a show in Charlotte July 30 - August 2, 2014. It can't get any more convenient than that!

Closeup of the Chevron Block.
The busy fabric has quilted lines. I figured that anything more than  that wouldn't show. Feather roping is the quilt design in the plain fabric zig zags.

Closeup of the Modern Dresden Plate Block.
It's not hanging straight and is the reason it looks distorted in the picture.

Closeup of the Asterick Block. Each block has a feather plume
that are encased with crosshatching.
They aren't showing very well in this picture.

Closeup of the Off Center Frames has more feather roping in the lighter fabric. The center was quilted by following the circular design of the flower.

Now I can say it is done! I was happy that the slow steady rain stopped long enough for me to take pictures outside. It feels chilly outside so not typical of Charlotte in August. Feels like Fall is coming. It was a great day to sew and quilt!
