I finished something!

Finally! :) This is for my manager; a thank you gift I will give her when I retire in the spring. It's a Judy Martin pattern called Cooperstown Stars, and is twin size. First big quilt done with my mid-arm Grace Q'nique machine. I can't get it all in a photo, even standing on a chair.
The backing is a large floral print I found a Joann's. She wears a lot of turquoise so I hope she'll like the colors.

I finished it!
Comments (3)Congratulations! Doesn't it feel good to finish something big like that? I tend to start a bunch of things then eventually get in a frenzy to actually finish things and catch up, then start a new bunch! :) Donna...See MoreI finally finished something!
Comments (13)Thank you all! It felt good to get something done. It poured rain all day yesterday...I think we had around 4 inches. Today we are having gusty wind and more rain, and it's about 30 degrees colder than yesterday. I think I'll still make a run to JoAnn's for some BOGO thread. Quilting fabric is 50% off, too. ðÂÂÂ...See MoreI did it!! I finally finished something!

Comments (9)Thanks, everyone! Sharon, the pattern is Two Hour Tulip Purse by Anything But Boring. It turns out I got a really (I mean REALLY) wimpy magnet clasp from JoAnn's. I'll probably take it off and change to a button closure. It was easy to make, but the pattern instructions aren't the best. It could use more illustrations, and it seems like they assume you are an experienced sew-er. Donna...See More
