christmasbells8.jpgFinally finished the Mariners Compass quilt that I designed and hand quilted.  It is 107 inches square.   At times I didn’t think I was ever going to finish it while working on too many other projects.  It was on the quilting frame for 11 months!  The whole quilt from piecing to quilting took about 220 hours.  Here I am with my quilt, my friend Julie hid behind the quilt so as not to get her photo taken :)

(I just now tried to take a close up photo of the quilting stitches but couldn’t get one because of the black quilt, the red stitches won’t show up on a photo, I guess I do not have a good enough camera.  The quilting is not fancy stitch design, mainly just straight lines in all the borders)
