And here it finally is....
The inner part of Parisian Summer!
I finally managed to figure it all out......
what a process....
I am happy with it though.
Hard work always does pay off!
What do you all think?
Here's some of the process of it going together....
I can't tell you how many times...
I started adding the checkerboard sashing to the blocks...
only to realize I hadn't put on the prairie points.....
You would think I would have only done it once!!
Not!!
See...doesn't it look great???
Whoops!
No Prairie Points...
rip...
rip...
rip...
Here is some of the work on the design wall....
Commissioning fabrics for the outer border....
Working the Dresden Blocks out....
Sewing blocks together....
Adding Sashing....
And more sashing....
Piece by piece...it finally all came together.
Until the last border was sewn on. ~~Whew...~~
And a photo shoot in the backyard for Mary Jane's Farm Magazine.
Now to hand embroider the last 4 borders...
I will be burning the midnight oil...
stitching,
stitching,
stitching.
Stitching in the car...
at shows,
at quilt guild meetings,
when visitors come....
Ah....
the life of a quilter!
~Happy Days to You'll....from lil 'ole Tennessee~
It looks wonderful. My favorite is the Dresden flower. Can't wait to see when you are done with the last borders.
