11 years and much cussing later, Monet's Lady with Parasol is pieced.
Finished size is 85"x 107"
This is how it looks on a Queen size bed.
Definitely larger than the original.
On the back of the flimsy, you can see 3 different brands of fusible that was used to position the squares. There are even some sections I put together without the fusible. Once it's positioned, it is sewn, right sides together a row at a time with 1/4 inch seams. Since it is so secure, and there are SO MANY seams, my plan is to add a double wide backing but no batting. Almost done!
Addendum: Ended up just adding a backing and topstitching the edges to make a coverlet. Details in next post.

Congratulations! You've created a masterpiece! With that many seams plus the fusible, a summer quilt is the way to go. Or if you want it a tad warmer, you could use a flannel sheet. Either way, Monet sleeps at your house.
Wow, you've got it finished. I'm very impressed. It looks wonderful, and I'll bet you're super glad to get this one finished!
