Okay here's mine. It still has to be washed so I thought I better take a photo now in case all the colours run together and it is ruined :shock: The finished size is 163cm x 143cm(64.2" x 56.3"). I stitched in the ditch around each block for stability first. Then I did a free motion pattern of leaves and a flower which I adjusted from a bought stencil. I did some straight stitching in the yellow border and then I did a free motion diamond pattern in the outer border which I made up. I used invisible thread on the blocks so that you wouldn't be able to see how shaky my stitching is! And I used a Superior Rainbows thread in the border. I had actually done the blocks in the Rainbows thread but it just looked like I had scribbled all over the quilt so I unpicked it all and started again with the invisible thread. The border fabric is a tie-died fabric but I didn't think about the positioning of the circles until it was too late. It is also the reverse of the fabric as the RS of the fabric was just too much - it had a gold and silver pattern which was just too much for my taste.

Rita, Your quilt turned out gorgous. It is so interesting to see the variations in fabric we all keep in our stash. We are all different. I love the yellows that give such vibrance to the quilt. I don't know how you free motion with invisible thread since I find it difficult to sew with and only use it when I have to. Great job!

Rita, I love your quilt. The colours look so regal. Seeing it, and reading about how you've quilted it makes me want to get on to the business of quilting mine. Your daughters friend will be thrilled. I am sure the spirit of care and fun in which you made it will speed her recovery. It is beautiful.
On another note, Gylean has not popped in on this conversation for a while. I subscribe to her newsletter and its not been posted in a while either. I know she was having difficulty with her shoulder. I think it put her out of comission sewing-wise for awhile. But the last she posted, I thought she said she was getting better. I believe she said that the shoulder thing was a repetitive injury from packing up all the orders to her webcite that came in after her episode on TQS. I was wondering how she managed everything she does. I imagine her day job is rather demanding. I am hoping she is well. I miss hearing from her. Does anyone have more information? Lois

Your quilt is GORGEOUS! In particular, what I love about it is the overall joyousness of the colors and how the yellows, gold, and greenish gold blends so beautifully with the transition to greens. The oranges and what looks like fuchsia make the overall design pop and the blues complement the greens in their calm. The purple centres call out to the border and then in such a pleasant surprise, the occasional muted circles in the border fabric twinkle against the deep purple sky. I love the quilting because it enhances the piece without overpowering it. Beautiful quilt, lucky recipient. Thanks for sharing!!!

Since it is for someone who has been ill I would be inclined to put it in the dryer. It will make it softer. In addition, she may have to launder it often and that will make her less afraid to really use it. I also think of how damp and rainy it can be in Ireland. Wouldn't it take a long time for it to dry? In the end, you made it and know what has gone into it and have a much better idea how it will fair. You'll know what is best! Lois
