First project finished!

[zoethe]

I finally finished the first project of my renewed quilting career, an Amish-inspired wallhanging that I began almost 18 years ago when living in Fairbanks. I made the top then and quilted the middle portion of it, then could not find a border pattern I liked. Then I got away from quilting for a long time. When I picked it up again, finishing this piece seemed like a good place to start, and in a moment of serendipity I happened across the perfect border pattern in a local quiltshop. This morning I finished the binding. Here's a picture of the whole quilt and a bit of detail on the border. (Crossposted to my journal and a couple communities)

I second the motion. That's pretty incredible. Did you do this with a machine? Do you have a quilting frame? I've always liked quilts and I'm good with hand work, but the space required has always stopped me.

This one is machine pieced but hand quilted. It's only about 3 feet square. I don't have a quilt frame, just a hoop with a frame base that elevates it in my lap. I've handquilted king-sized projects with it, moving them around in the hoop. You don't need a fullsize frame to quilt - I don't have room for one, either.

Yatta!
