Its DONE!!

Doin the Happy Dance!!  I am finally finished this amazing quilt!!  I can't even begin to imagine how many pieces are in it!!  I think this week I am off to find some backing and send it off to the quilters....woohoo!!  I had my boys hold it up while I took a picture.  This was not an easy task since the Superbowl is on right now!  So its not the greatest pic, but it will have to do.  They had to stand on the couch because it is so big!!


I took a close up of the border so you can see it a little better.  Bonnie Hunter did a great job with this pattern.  It was definately a mystery until the very end!  But its one Mystery I am happy to have solved....

Happy Quilting friends....

So Close to the finish line!

So I worked on my RRCB today.  I have one border on one side and the other three are ready and waiting to be stitched on!!  So excited!!

Here is a peek:



The top with one border.

The remaining side borders.  Waiting!!

I am so close to having the top totally finished!  I think I will sit up and finish it tonight after supper.  Maybe, hopefully, tomorrow I can post a finished quilt top.......woot woot!!

Happy Stitching

My New Favorite!!

This may possibly be my new favorite quilt!!  I love how all the scraps blend together....it looks like something you might find at Grandmas house.  Once it is quilted and washed and gets that worn and loved look it will be even better!! 
 Still trying to decide on  a border.  I have pictured two options, but really not sure I like either of them yet.....hmmmm!

One Border Choice - not really my favorite!!

The Couthouse Steps Quilt


Another border option, still not sure I like it, but its better than the other one!!

This quilt has 174 - 5" finished blocks in it and over 2900 pieces.  I know this because my kids were curious!   

Now back to the pieced borders on my RRCB!

Happy Stitchin'
