Its finished in the nick of time!!

Yes, it is FINALLY completed!! I am so pleased with the way it has turned out!

My very first finish in Peg's challenge:


I set my own challenge which was to have this quilt hand quilted in time.... didnt think I would have the time to bind and put the hanging sleeve on, but, I did!!


The past week, every spare minute I had I worked on this:



YAY!!

Hmmmm, what project should I do now..........

I know that I promised to show you all pics of the gift Jan made for me, but I have been busy lol!! Will show you all next post!

Hi Sarah,
so beautiful - I love your quilt and I know how much work it is - I think you can count the the finish five challenge as completed. Love the colours you chose.
(I've started the "Leanne's House BOM" a while ago, it's so fun to work with her patterns)
Cheers, Julia

WOW! Congratulations!
That is one amazing accomplishment! Even getting the top pieced and embroidered is amazing, but you have also hand quilted it!
