New quilt finished

It's great, John. Looks bright and 'clean'. A break is a good idea, given the intensity with which you work - you've only just finished the one on the bed! Do you have your plans ready for the next one? . In message , John writes

Beautiful, John

This quilt was fun as it let me improve my point matching skills. The only thing I have coming up is that crib quilt I mentioned in another post. Left over fabric will have to suffice, but should be fine. I want to do a Log Cabin but that will require a bit of fabric so I may have to wait for a sale at You Know Who's. I think I am going to build a quilt display rack that is based on a Shaker clothes drying rack that I remember seeing at one of the Shaker villages. I have a pattern in one of my books. It will accommodate 4 quilts of lap quilt size and would be placed in the corner of our living room in an otherwise unusable space, and provide viewing options. That's it but I am always looking for ideas. When you are new to any game, everything is a wonder and full of potential. I have even been eyeballing a Grace Quilting Rack, for free motion quilting. That might prove a problem unless it breaks down for storage when not in use. I guess I could use it in another room if needed but I would like to keep things contained in one space if possible.

Howdy!

Dude, you are so hooked!

Congrats. Gorgeous. So is the quilt. ;-)

What can I say, John? Darned nice! Of course, I expected no less.

Wow, John, that is gorgeous!! Great job!

Great job, but now - you need to learn how to pace yourself, and thus avoid the necessity of taking ANY days off from quilting!

Good work! Great border! There's something just so satisfying about Irish Chains, kind of like textile comfort food. Roberta in D

Lovely quilt, John!! Thanks for sharing. Now perhaps you want to share how you keep the SR so neat & tidy? Mine never looks like that. Sigh.

Obsessive compulsion, I think.

John - yet, another beautiful quilt. I can't believe how quickly you're getting these done - no wonder you're exhausted! Very nice work - now, go take a nap!
