A Huge Finish!
The quilt I told you about in this post, I am happy to report, has finally been completed. This has been an interesting journey. And a long one! I started this Blooming Nine Patch in 2002, then set it aside for about 8 years. Last year I got it out of the cabinet, determined to finish it. Once it was put together and basted, it was set aside again for a while. I was beginning to think this would be my "take-it-to-the-home-with-me" quilt! After 7 months of working on it nearly every day it's finally ready for the big reveal........
I appliqued one of each of the blocks onto the back to create a design.
You can see the blocks a little better in this close-up.
I am holding onto this one for a while before I hand it off to Aaron and Leah. I'm thinking I may enter it in a few quilt shows first.
This one has to be my all time favorite quilt. (Until I finish the next one, of course.)

I love this quilt. Did you name it? It reminds me of an inferno. Just gorgeous Sandy. You do such great work. If that quilt doesn't make it into a quilt show, I will be surprised.
Sandy, this quilt is breathtaking, so very striking. A&L will treasure it. Let us know how it does when you show it. Thanks so much for sharing this, and all of your quilts.
Sandy, it is stunning!!! We have a hand quilted category in the Quintessential Quilt show this fall....will I get to see this one in person? I love the appliqued squares on the back....what a nice finishing touch :)
Woo hoo Sandy! I remember this quilt. Mine is still unfinished. I'm glad to see you completed it and it is phenomenal! I miss seeing you at guild. I hope all is well with you and your family.
Breath-taking! I adore your quilt! Thanks for visiting my blog too! I'm gonna have to keep an eye on you!
