This quilt has over 200 blocks in it and has taken me about 18 months off and on. Each of the pieced blocks has 20 pieces in it and the blocks are only 6 1/2 inches square. The last 20 pieced blocks were VERY tedious. The beautiful colours were chosen by my sister-in-law when they were out here visiting in 2017.

I like to embroider my labels
Label and part of the back. Most of the backing was a new sheet I bought at Salvation Army Thrift Shop with yellow roses on it.

My professional quilters decided to retire and I had to find a new one.
Fortunately I happened upon artnquiltingstudio.com.au online at Sandy
Beach and sent the quilt to them. Their website has a very convenient
form to fill in for a quote and Sandra responds within 24 hours. Being a
queensized quilt it was too big for me to haul around on the machine
with my gammy shoulders. Sandra did a lovely job of the quilting and I
have already sent her another because I was so pleased with this one.
