And... here she is, in all of her wonderful glory! Yes, I did have a celebratory glass of bubbles last night with Hubby to mark the completion of all 140 blocks, the paper-cut applique centre blocks and finishing the quilt top for my version of Sylvia's Bridal Sampler.

I have to admit, I am a little awe-struck that I managed to make all of those blocks. Some of the blocks were easy, some were very challenging, however I did enjoy the technical challenges, going back to basics, taking time and not rushing.
I am surprised by how much she weighs! All those seams and little pieces add up to a lot of quilty patchwork goodness.
She still needs her final pressing as does her backing. Her binding is made and coiled. Her wadding is waiting. It's now time to pick out the quilting thread and plan the quilting. I'll let those quilt plan thoughts percolate over the next week or so. Right now, I'm celebrating and enjoying her as a whole.
