I have to say that I am glad it is over. The Quilt covered my life for nearly a month. Why did I choose such a large project for my first attempt at quilting?? I can say I learned a whole lot on this project.
Here it is completed. I am standing in front of it for scale. I had to stretch some string between a couple of bookcases in the livingroom and pin it up for a photo. It is queen sized.
I am pleased that it is finished way ahead of the holidays so I don't have to try to get it finished for Frank's January birthday.

What a beautiful quilt!! Frank is going to be thrilled! Is that photo transfers in there as well?
It's also wonderful getting to see you, Lisa!
Wow.. thats a LOT of work you put in there. Wish I could see the photos on it better but Blogger keeps things small now. He is going to be so jazzed when he sees this. I did a log cabin queen quilt years ago and it seemed like I would never get done with it. Good job Lisa.
It's AWESOME!
There is a lot of work in this, aka a lot of love! Such a good feeing when a big project is done.
Terrific Lisa...hard to believe this is a first try at quilting! You did a beautiful job of it. And yes, I know what a huge accomplishment it is to do something this large! (never again! for me)...The recipient will be so very very pleased.
a month. ?? it would take me a few years to do this. actually when i clicked on it i got a larger photo and could see the photos on the quilt pretty well.
a great project done in record time. kinda nice to see you too as i had no idea what you looked like!
Oh Lisa! What a beautiful quilt, and your first one??? You did a wonderful job on this. I did a tiny block quilt when I was in high school and that was enough for me. Not my venue.
I agree with Laure, it's good to see you in a photo. You look great!

Hey Lisa! Love your sweater!!! The quilt is a huge, amazingly meaningful and beautiful success!!! I know you are so happy to have it completed...and yes...so large a quilt for your first one was crazy...but you DID IT!!! Congratulations. I get the feeling you don't let anything keep you from moving ahead. You are a wonder woman!
