A Finish!

My version of Kim's beautiful pattern is finally finished! I have always thought of the the little song "All God's Creatures Have A Voice In The Choir" when working on this quilt and while I don't often name my quilts that is definitnately the name of this one.

I am a hand appliquer but I chose to machine applique this one. I used a blanket stitch and King Tut variegated thread.

It did not speed up the process one bit, I started it six years ago, but it has been a joy to stitch and looking at my blog noticed I had 27 different posts with Roseville Album mentioned with progress and process pictures.

I did change up the outer border with more circles and semi circles.

I finished it by quilting my initials and the year over the house at the top.

Again, it has been a joy!

Happy Stitching All,

Cheri

    Your quilt is just stunning - so beautiful!! I recently did a large quilt with machine appliqué also and it still took quite some time. Nice border you designed also!

    Oh, it's so lovely! I love the change to the border. It accents the center instead of competing with it. Nice Job!

    Your quilt is positively stunning!!!
    I am an improvisational quilter but greatly admire some traditional quilts. This one is a beauty - and I love the machine blanket stitching.

    How delighted I am to see a new post on this blog and such a gorgeous one at that! It can take sustained focus to complete one of Kim's designs, but it's so worth the effort.
