My Roseville is finished!!!! yippee......
This quilt took me quite awhile, I made many quilts while working steadly on this one. It's all hand needleturn applique and hand quilted by "little Oh Me"....... Kaffe fabrics except for a few hand dyed fabrics. I changed the design on the outside border for what I call "the littld hands" I didn't care for those at all. The background fabric is a white on white cotton. It's Queen Size. Crosshatch plus around many of the applique pieces. I am so glad I stuck with it and it's finished!!!!!any questions, just contact me. Oh yes, taking into account that I traveled a lot and worked full time while making this, I constantly worked on it in the evenings. From first needle to last stitch, took me 3 yrs 2 months and 18 days....
