McClellan Medallion

I am SO happy this quilt is finished!!!

Lots of "not so very good" pictures.

I fear my camera is dying :(

This quilt is 106"x106"

Quilt holders wrestling the HUGE quilt.

I'll try to get some better pictures.

Quilted ;D

Ever wonder what it looks like to quilt a king size quilt on a little Pfaff?

 Now to finish the binding :)

OH! MY! GOSH!!!!!

Yes, a few tears have been [almost] shed.

(Are you ready?)

THE MEDALLION QUILT TOP IS FINISHED!!!

(Blurry picture of it on my Cal King bed)

I was thinking that it needed TWO more borders, 

but after a few sleepless nights, 

[a few temper tantrums]

 ...one solid fabric border was decided upon.

The last border represents my Katie-Bug.  She IS Sleeping Beauty!

She can sleep face down on the living room floor for hours!

I hand appliqued this wonderful Heather Ross print onto the corner pieces.

One center medallion, 8 borders to represent each member of our family.

Done!  Fini!  Finito!

(Now I have to baste it and quilt it.... I don't want to :(::::::......)

(I think Konda or Annette wants to)

Flying Geese Goose Me :/

Geeze Louise!!!  These flying geese gave me some serious grief!  First off, I cut out FOUR times as many white squares as I needed for the project :/  THEN, one side of the quilt was TWO inches smaller than the other 3 sides :/

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I remedied all of the issues and FINALLY got two sides of geese sewn on. :)  Happy?  Well, almost!  I sewed the third side on THE WRONG DIRECTION :/

After staring at it for a long while, I unpicked all 85" of it, and fixed it.  I made sure to sew the final side on correctly.... I checked about 301 times ;D

Two more borders to go :)  One will either be stacked bricks or half square triangles.  The final border will likely be some kind of paper pieced castles with Heather Ross sleeping beauty corners.

I'd like to have this baby all finished so I can enter it into the Peteetneet quilt show this year.

(not sure it's gonna happen)

Piano Keys Border FINISHED :)

Coming along nicely :)  I am pretty happy with life :)

How about if you just look at the pictures.

....and I don't talk much :)

Katie designed my corner posts.

Love the way they turned out!

Happy Weekend!

I am off on a HOT date with my hubby :)

Are you jealous?

Piece, Love, Quilts!

No more random thoughts.

Bye!
