Once I realized that the quilt was really and truly done I just kind of stared at it in befuddled amazement......I kept looking at it thinking "surely I missed something.......there has to be a block that isn't quilted yet.....is the binding really attached everywhere......" but all I found were a few spots of blood (quilting is dangerous business folks) and a completely finished quilt. Wow. Just wow......
And of course I wanted to show you a bunch of fabulous pictures of the whole quilt today but Mr. Sew Fab is out of town and it's a two person job to get those photos. Soooooo.....I just draped the quilt over our big chair hoping that I'd be able to get a semi decent photo to show you today.......and I managed to take ONE photo before Emma Jane appeared......
Doesn't she seem stunned that I was actually trying to take a picture that doesn't have her in it? Why would I do such a thing???
Annnndddddd.......I'm almost done with Hooterville. The beaks and feet are done. The applique is done. I just need to decide on the layout and piece the top. And pick a border fabric.....there will probably be a "Help Me Pick A Border" blog post coming soon! I'm actually wondering if I'm starting to become one of those people that actually gets things done in a timely fashion! Dare to dream.....

Big congratulations! What a wonderful feeling, eh? And IT'S GORGEOUS! I'm sooo tired right now, I wish I could snuggle into it myself and drift off into dreamland!
Looks great! I love me some scrappy granny squares! Congrats on a hand quilted finish.
And it is a darling quilt finish at that!!! I love how she is laying there on the quilt at the end----- she is too sweet. What breed is she may I ask?
SOOOO Nice to have a beautiful quilt finished -- many congrats -- and, Yes, you should be very proud of yourself. Love the colors - love the beautiful, precious model on the quilt - just Picture Perfect (the two of them).
Love your granny square quilt, just gorgeous! Now I normally frown when seeing pets on quilts, but your dog is just so beautiful, I love the sleepy pic :)
Beautiful quilt, and could Emma be any more adorable? I think not. :P
Looks fantastic! I just finished my first quilt and am also very surprised that it is done! Of course yours looks much nicer! Can't wait to see your next project.
Woohoo!!! And Emma looks so pretty on that gorgeous quilt. :)
The quilt is gorgeous - that one is on my list to-do...well, someday! you are lucky that Miss Emma will pose for you, our Lucy always turns away when Mummy has the big black thing pointing at her!
Congratulations on you finish.
