I could not stand it any longer, had to lay it out on the floor to see how it going to look. Also thought everyone would like to see my progress. I'm very happy with it so far. I had mentioned in an earlier comment that I was changing the corners. As you can see I'm using only one block for all four corners, but different fabrics for each. This is all I have cut out and actually done some sewing on one. Still working on the top panel, hope to have it done maybe this weekend and will post it then. I have another goal; blocks and last border cut out or most of it by Wednesday night. I'm leaving for a several days (all girls road trip) and want to take it with me as I may have some time to work on it. I'm doing the driving so I can't work on my circles in the car. LOL... at least I have around 200 circles done and these are going on the outside borders and some on the top panel. I'm going to hand quilt this so will need to cut out the backside of some of the larger appliqued pieces. Also trim up the blocks and panels and then I can sew it all together.
I think I started this quilt last August, shortly after the pattern was released.
Wow! It's beautiful
ReplyDeleteWow wow and wow, I have not done a stitch on mine

Looks great! You've made fantastic progress!
ReplyDeleteIncredible Julee, like Christine I have not done a stitch on mine for ages. Yours is looking fabulous, how lovely to step back and see all your work. xo
ReplyDeleteExuberant, wonderful and oh SEW fun, Julee!!! It's magical. ; ) Thank you for sharing it, and I love what you've done with the corner blocks. Have fun prepping and enjoy your road trip too!!!
ReplyDeleteWait a minute, I'll just snap my lower jaw back up again Julee!! Wonderful, I like those corners too, it is like snapping the others into a square, well done! It's so nice to see these Rosevilles getting towards the end, and I hope to see them in shows please. I always feel like a mummy hen clucking away whenever I see the quilts in shows. Kim McL
ReplyDeleteI'm drooling over your quilt too Julee. It looks stupendous, you must have good blinkers.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive. And how did you do it so quickly? I'm amazed. I love the corner blocks--great idea.
ReplyDeleteWow, well done Julee! It looks wonderful, I also like what you have done with the corners. With your goal set I am sure you will have the top done soon. Enjoy your trip and all your upcoming stitching.

Wow!!! This is a stunning quilt! Just amazing! I love it. Are you planning to hang it on the wall once it is done? i don't think i couldlet anyone snuggle under all that work!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, Julee! What an accomplishment! I started when you did...and am still stitching on #3...where does the time go.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is going to be a real show stopper!
hugs,

Great work Julee, you must really have a super sense of accomplisment looking at these great blocks.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Awesome. I stitch on mine "every day".
ReplyDeleteover the top wonderful, you are almost there.
ReplyDeleteOh so wonderful. Great accomplishment, Julee. I understand that feeling so well! I love when the blocks get to that point and I can "finally" see what it's going to look like all together. SO fun. Enjoy your weekend away.
ReplyDeleteStunning! You work sooo fast!
ReplyDeleteI love the rearrangement of the blocks! It makes me want to move mine around. ;)
ReplyDeleteI like the 4 corner blocks the same. I struggledcwith getting mine to look balanced. Well done Julee!!!!
Incredible! You make me wonder if I could start another one, this one!
ReplyDeleteWow Wow Wow, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteoh wow, your quilt looks beautiful - I need to get a set of those blinkers and stop getting distracted!
ReplyDeleteReally great job! I am so encouraged seeing yours all laid out - I will get there soon I hope. I love the corners - gives the eye a place to rest. I may do that with mine.
ReplyDeleteIt looks absolutely stunning, you are going to have so much fun quilting it. What is going to be your next project?
ReplyDeleteDo add my "wow" to those above, and ditto about the matching corner block idea. The only criticism I can make of this fabulous Kim quilt is that it's too big for most of our design walls and hard to photograph! When I get to the point you are now, I may have to rent a hall to see the whole thing together!
ReplyDeleteJulee your efforts are quite impressive. Knowing what a pile of scraps looks like, and the difficulty in deciding color combinations, and the details of tracing, then the stiching, and now look. It is beautiful. Great work, and great being part of your cheering squad.

Love, love, love your colour choices. I already have my white with black dots background fabric ready to start mine once I have finished Flower Pots. Thanks for all the inspiration!
