Really must teach The Old One how to hold quilts up.
I've hand quilted it in various ways. The centre has been tied, as has the left hand side. The words have been hand quilted in the ditch, with various designs in the gaps between each word. On the right hand side, reading from the bottom upwards it says Estella Elizabeth and her birth date (30-10-08 though I suppose it should be 10-30-08 as she's in Los Angeles LOL).
Although it is not 100% perfect, I'm just so chuffed with myself that I knuckled down and finished this off in one hit. Didn't get side tracked and just, well, finished it! Wooo hooo.
Back to the UFO's. What will be next I wonder?

Clare this quilt is amazing..........( in Italy we say MERAVIGLIOSO)
do you know this quote " who sleep under a quilt, sleep under a blanket of love".
Estella will sleep under a blanket done with your love.
ciao ciao
Wonderful quilt!! Yes, it's fabulous when it comes out just as you wanted. Good for you!
I like Teodo's quilt saying.
Worth waiting for the grand reveal! Very pretty (and looks nice and snuggly too).
It turned out really well. I am impressed that you hand quilted and tied it, and still managed to get it finished!
The quilt looks terrific! Congratulations!!! Love that binding fabric! Crazy trip back here, finally got caught up with the classes I had to reschedule! Had a great Thanksgiving, but am totally exhausted now! The furniture is still cleared out of the living room (where the tables were) - maybe I should keep it this way to baste some quilts on the floor!!
What a great quilt! I love the liberated stars.
Clare--- this is outstanding.....love the pattern, colors and stitching...what a memory wrapped up in fabric!!!
