Finally Finished

Happy Tuesday to you all. A year and a half ago, hubby and I spent a week in Redmond Oregon with our best friends and traveling companions. Barbara and I had so wanted to attend the Sister's Quilt Show and take some classes; we had a ball! One of the classes we took was with Rob Appell-aka Man Sewing associated with Missouri Star Quilt Company. It was a fun class and he is a hoot. I came home and finished the top, but it sat until last summer when I began quilting it by hand. While it has taken me that long to quilt it, it was such a fun finish. Hubby decided I had put too much quilting on it, but it was a once in a lifetime class, so why not?!  I renamed it Ocean Blue, because it reminds me so much of Kauai.
The back is a batik and fits perfectly with the name.



There were three quilt patterns I used and I feel like one more project is off of my shoulders.  The only thing I didn't realize until taking the photos was that my border had rippling, which really disappointed me(but in reality it won't matter when someone is snuggled under it).  I have learned since then to measure your borders carefully before attaching-so hope I don't make that mistake again.  Hubby and I loved the colors and it will always remind me of being with loved ones.
Hope your day is going well.
Joy to you!
Noreen

It feels so good to complete a project that has been neglected for so long...your post reminded me that I need to get down to business and finish a quilt I started for our son...I am ashamed to tell you how long ago I started it!! Thank you for the inspiration!
