I'm Redeemed!?

The Road to Redemption is finished! Those of you who have followed along for awhile remember this two year long quilt process. You can read all about it here. There are 33 small (6 inch) blocks and 12 large (12 inch) blocks. If you're wondering what took me so long, I added a ruffled border and was willing to wait for my ruffler foot to come in to do it. Was it worth it? Yes. But at times I felt like I would die at my machine before this quilt got finished.


Yes it really did snow here today.


Quilted by Lisa Sipes, who is nominated for a Golden Quilter award for Best Long-Arm Quilter.

This pillowcase was a Christmas present from my sweet friend Marie.
Goodnight!
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Psalm 37:7

Love,
xoxo

    Love the Quilt! Love the pillowcase too! Truly admire anyone willing to sew all those little pieces into blocks and more blocks. And the ruffle is wonderful.!.! When you have time I would love to have you come over and teach a class on incorporating ruffles into quilts - I know a bunch of people who would be interested ;-)

    That is totally awesome I love that ruffle on the edge. I am sort of ruffle obsessed right now. In fact, I started a linky on my blog post about ruffles today. It would be awesome if you would care to link up. If not, I understand. Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt!
