It's done -- and I'm thrilled

It's done! Since it took four years to piece and applique it, I am taking the position that I have four years to get up the courage to put it on my longarm. I cannot even begin to think about how I will quilt this.

Here's what I know -- every single element will need to be outlined with invisible thread and then the background and some of the petals, leaves, and circles will have to quilted or enhanced.  I cannot even think about that right now!

Thank you, Kim McLean, for such a great pattern (Lollypop) and use of color!

I hope you are finishing a few things occasionally. It does feel good!

OMG, what a fabulous quilt and all finished. You are amazing. If I had to make one, it would take triple the time you did. Two thumbs up!!!

Such a nice balance of color and scrappiness. I can't help but smile when I see it.

I saw a quilt made from this pattern at a quilt show a year ago. I loved it then and I love yours now!

What an accomplishment--it's a stunning quilt. I would not use invisible thread though. Use white, which I think is your background color. Stipple or echo quilt as much as you can and that's all you'll need. This will show off the appliqué as the 'star'.

Wow! It's wonderful. I was going thru my "followers" and came upon your site - this is some year back to I'm guessing it's quilted by now? I would LOVE to see it all finished and done - what a project you set for yourself but it looks amazing!

Do you realize there is a 12 word sentence you can speak to your partner... that will induce deep emotions of love and instinctual attractiveness for you buried inside his heart?

Because deep inside these 12 words is a "secret signal" that fuels a man's instinct to love, cherish and protect you with his entire heart...

12 Words That Fuel A Man's Love Response

This instinct is so built-in to a man's mind that it will make him try harder than before to take care of you.

Matter of fact, fueling this all-powerful instinct is so essential to getting the best ever relationship with your man that the second you send your man one of the "Secret Signals"...

...You will immediately notice him expose his mind and soul to you in such a way he haven't expressed before and he'll see you as the one and only woman in the galaxy who has ever truly understood him.
