Oh Rita ! What a glorious quilt you have made !! That border may have been a lot of effort :shock: but
WOW! what a finish !! It deserves ribbons !!

[Robyn B.]

Just beautiful Rita - love the shamrocks too!!

[Rita C.]

Thank you, thank you! I think I am mildly hysterical that I have actually finished it. And all quilted on a Pfaff Select 4 with no computer, no needle up/down and a harp space of about 6 inches. But the blanket stitching on the applique was done on a Janome Horizon. :wink:

[Rita C.]

Congratulations Rita. Oh my I am speechless . Dittos with all that has been said.
Did you some coloring on your hummer bird?

[Rita C.]

Yes the bird was from a line drawing on an Ikea fabric, I just coloured it in, cut it out and stitched it down.

[Rita C.]

Just gorgeous!! Love everything...the quilting, applique and the precious hummer. Well done!

[Daniela D.]

Wow Rita,

You have truly made it your own, I just love it you have done an exquisite job.

[Beverly C.]

No wonder you've been quiet, it's fabulous. Well done all who contributed.

[wendy w.]

Oh my! How beautiful!!! You did a wonderful job on his Rita, and to think it only took 2 years! Love your hummingbird and all the pansies and clover you added. You deserve a big pat on the back and a nice long drink of your choosing!

Now, maybe this will inspire me to get my top off the design wall and under the needle...

Hate to ask.. but could you give us one more picture...a close-up of the alternate block and one
next to it with the name stitching ?? I'd really like to see how that all worked. Please ?? :?: :wink:

[Rita C.]

The battery is recharging in my camera Marilyn so when it is done I will take a photo. But if you click on the close-up I posted already and then click on it again you should be able to see pretty well what's going on there.

Thanks for all the lovely comments - I know you all understand just how much work is involved in making this quilt. I am pleased that I have a quilt that will hopefully delight somebody in my family for a long time to come. DH is taking me out to dinner tonight to celebrate. Even he has been aware of how much work it has taken. :lol: Michelle I will definitely have a little something to celebrate tonight. :wink:

[Rita C.]

Rita I am not sure thre are enough words to say how beautiful your quilt is. Masterful work. Stunning.

[E.M. T.]

I did look closely at pic with hummer in it....maybe it is my screen res. not fine enough ! ops: ops:
Anyway..just beautiful....have a wonderful evening out !! I'll toast one nip from here ! :lol: :lol: :lol:
