I completed 2 quilts in 2019. Yup. Two. Quilting and Binding. This Almost Irish Chain was started way back in 2004. I took all the partially sewn units to Shipshewana with me back in April. My daughter called up one day and announced they had bought a king-sized bed. So I immediately thought of this quilt since it finishes at 106 inches. The biggest quilt I ever made It took only 8 phone calls to find someone who could long arm quilt it right away instead of putting me on a 4-month waitlist. And, she lives about 5 miles from here! This is the photo she sent me.
She used an edge to edge design called Vortex. I love it! It takes a simple pattern and makes it special.
And of course, Dear Daughter that I made for my mother in laws 90th birthday. It finishes at about 70 inches square. It is all hand appliqued and I machine quilted this one myself.
I wonder how many I will complete in 2020.

What beautiful finishes you have achieved in 2019! I know you have lots of other 'in process'.... that have made great strides last year.
ReplyDeleteI love both of your finishes. The machine quilting on the Almost Irish Chain really compliments it. And I really admire Dear Daughter....hand done! I started this one, but didn’t follow thru. Seeing yours makes me want to get back to it.
