I think this is the longest I’ve ever spent working on a quilt. Lesson for next year: Don’t start a quilt in November, Plaid Friday and Christmas orders will get in the way.
But it was actually really nice to have this quilt to come back to after my staycation. A good way to ease me back into work. And I was ready for it, ready to get back into the studio and ready to finish up the quilt. Not that I got it all done, but I’m almost there. Now I just have to tack it. I was moving around a lot putting the quilt together so I kept warm, but tomorrow it’s supposed to be 16 below. I won’t be crawling around on the floor (what I do when putting the backing and batting together) which is uninsulated and drafty, but the snow is supposed to go on till tomorrow night. So, no sun and below zero temps, I just don’t know if my studio will warm up enough to work in. I’ll be happy if I can get a few hours in before my fingers refuse to work anymore.
This is really a beautiful piece of work, Maria. I’ve loved watching the various stages of its creation, and can’t wait to see it when it’s 100% complete. I am sure Kim will love it. (Not that I know Kim – but who wouldn’t love something this beautiful?)
Thanks Brooks. It seems Kim does like it so you’re right.
Maria, This quilt is so beautiful…….really, really beautiful !!!!
Oh it’s looking great, Maria!
Oh I’m so glad you like it Kimberly!

This is stunning, the colors make me feel like springtime! Thnak you for sharing your process, it makes it special.
This REALLY came out nicely! I know it is for someone, not for sale. But just curious what size bed this fits. Nicely done!
It’s a queen size Margaret, or just about anyway.
