Ok so some of you know that I was working on a Mariners comapss for the local (now Canada wide) juried quilt show. Everything was going woderfully until I got preggers and felt like crap for 3 months, I was very worried that I was never going to make that darn deadline but I did and I finished it yesterday!!!!!
Here are the specs:
48 point Mariners compass King sized (114" x 110") Feathers are machine trapunto and I used more than 3,500 metres of thread just to quilt it!
I never thought it would be done! On top of the sheer feat of getting it finished on time I took the final step today of washing it at the MIL house because she has a fancy front loading washing machine and almost had a heart attack when I took it out of the machine only to find a blue ball point PEN rattling around in there too! THank heavens it didn't leak or explode and the quilt was fine and came out unscathed!
Anyway cross your fingers for me that it does ok (or even gets accepted!)
