Busy Quilting 441 Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 I started designing Limeberry Tart in June 2014, I completed it by 23rd July 2016, averaging about 3 hours every day in the intervening 760 days! She is to be my 0 birthday quilt for myself, designed to go on my King Size bed, so is LARGE 270cm x 285cm. All hand pieced and then Quilted on my Millenium She won Best Machine Quilting in her first show and has just won First Place Professional Pieced Quilt in our State Show. I am now debating if I bite the bullet and send her overseas to do a few shows next year. dbams, Gail O, Liam and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
