Quilt, All Finished

Lilysmom — Tue, 16 Apr 2019 20:34:02 GMT

I used this rainy day to finish off the quilt. All done for another year. My sewing box and threads are back in the closet for another six months.

At the end of the day, I am on the fence about the ‘cloud’ border. What do you think? Not sure I would do it again.

Pinch out for detail.

First congratulations on all the hard work and time you put into the quilt, the result is well worth it !!!!

I like the cloud border, in my opinion it doesn't take away from the beauty and design of the quilt. My eyes go to the sea scene which takes me to the beach!

Thanks for sharing your creativity.

@Lilysmom Yeah, let the sun shine and the gardening begin! The quilt is gorgeous; the clouds look like perfection to me. Winter is officially over when Lilysmom puts her needle and thread away for the year.

@Lilysmom What an absolutely amazing piece of work. The quilt is just lovely and I like the back as well as the front. You asked about the cloud border so I'm going to be honest and tell you that, to me, the quilt would be even prettier without it. Regardless, you've done a great job.

I think the clouds make it even more peaceful and relaxing and like the ocean.

@Lilysmom Absolutely lovely. I like the cloud border. I think you should write a little note that says "here is my gift to you of sea and sky" when you present it.

You did an excellent job - your quilt is so lovely! I do like the cloud print accent, as well. Don’t question your good taste.

@Lilysmom,

Just beautiful!

Thanks everyone. I had to laugh at @nana59 wondering how many stitches were in the quilt. I wonder how many stitches I have sewn in my 25 years of quilting! Now that would be a big number.

My SIL's birthday is some time off so I will give it to her to start the beach season.

Snow flurries here in Nova Scotia and a wet weekend ahead. At least the snow on the ground is gone. Happy Spring! LM

@Lilysmom The quilt is beautiful. I like the cloud border, but it really is not noticeable to me because I see ocean when I look at the quilt. You have so much patience, and talent, to do something like this.

@Lilysmom How lovely is this piece of artwork! Love the colors, LOVE the seahorses! Your new quilt is lovely on your bed too, reminds me a lot of the bed frame I have of my G'Parents Dad's side.

You're very talented. I know what it takes to do quilting. My G'Mom (Dad's mother) did quilting almost for a living making quiltes for others including one for each of her 6 granddaughters.
