Hallelujah! QOV2 done!

One of those quilts from hell... I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, but I think I aged YEARS since starting it about 6 weeks ago.



It was my first quilt to ever have puckers/pleats on the back, and a good chunk of it was done before I discovered them, so LOTS of frog- stitching. Nothing bled on any white anywhere--except the label. Not bad, but makes it look not fresh. Discovered how tricky stitch in the ditch is on a frame, and decided eventually to do the SID in the borders on my sewing machine...



On the other hand, maybe I should stop whining. Whoever receives it has gone through real hell. And I do love the colors.

It's beautiful, Heidi! I love the way you photograph your quilts--laying flat and then over the chair!!

Thank you, Polly. What a sweet thing to say!

Thanks, Donna. That started early on. I just couldn't get a picture that looked like the quilt *felt. Chalk it up to being a lousy photographer!

Beautiful quilt, Heidi. The stripey border really sets it off. :-) The recipient soldier will be very glad to have it.

Best regards, Michelle in NV

Gorgeous quilt....I love the subtle color variations!

Oh, Heidi, that's just *gorgeous*! It seems to shimmer with all of those different-yet-similar reds. Whoever gets that will love it, I'm sure. :)
