There's a light at the end of the tunnel...

Well, it's a year and a half late, but the 60th Anniversary quilt for my parents is back from the longarmer's and ready for binding!


She did a great job, filling most of the off-white blocks with the names of the kids and grandchildren, and rose wreaths (Dad's been growing and breeding roses for almost 50 years) for the remaining ones.

I'm so looking forward to getting this one off my plate -- and onto their bed -- by Christmas!

That is so beautiful, I'm inspired to do one like it now for my parents. The piecing is wonderful, the pattern is perfect and the quilting is amazing. Thank you for posting it.

Really lovely! What a great way to quilt it, too, with everyone's names. :)

She actually quilted names?? I am continually amazed by what is possible in quilting.
