My huge accomplishment of the year was finally finishing the Joseph's Coat that was my older daughter's high school graduation gift. I thought you might enjoy seeing as part of your
Blogger's Quilt Festival Tour.
It was my very first Quilt Along hosted by
Kellie at Don't Look Now and was the reason that I started blogging. Now I've made over 200 blog posts and just launched
a professional blog to share nutrition tips and tidbits. I guess blogging is every bit as addicting as quilting.
I made so many new quilting friends world-wide in the process of making this quilt. I love the support, encouragement and the kind of ooooo's and ahhhhh's that keep a project from becoming abandoned.
It is all hand appliqued and hand quilted. It took upwards of 400 hours to complete over the course of 16 months.
Now...if I could just finish those other 14 projects that are in various stages of completion!
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Take time to look around. Although applique is my first love, I seem to be sucked into crazy ideas that require piecing and quilting.

I sure do love this quilt. I wouldn't be able to give it away. I have loved this pattern since the first time I saw it. The colors are gorgeous and (luckily!) timeless!
Absolutely gorgeous quilt! You have a very lucky daughter! (and I think I should blame you because I have begun buying batiks--after you sent me the lovely squares, I now find I can't resist more!) Have fun in SLC!
Wow! How gorgeous. Definitely a work of love!

Wonderful! One day I'll be able to do something like this:) Until then I admire the masters like you :)
Your quilt turned out gorgeous! I love your use of color and it just pops against the white background.....what a labor of love....congrats on finishing this quilt for your daughter....
Amazing!!
You did a really really fantastic job with this quilt - I know you 'fought' with the hand quilting but you did win and have the ultimate reward - it's an amazing quilt
Beautiful Marjorie, that's one to be really proud of.
