I started this "simple" quilt over a year ago and finished hand quilting it last night. I love it, but wow what a lot of work.

Thanks for looking!

Smiles,
Lisa

I know when I finish a quilt there is such a sigh of relief. I have so many UFO's that I know I shouldn't start another without finishing the previous one--but I do.

Thank you for sharing your quilt with us.

Lisa...that is just Beautiful! Hand quilted...YOU GO GIRL! The colors remind me of taking a
quilt or blanket and throwing it down in lush green grass, underneath the a big old Oak Tree,
and having a lovely picnic! I haven't done that in years...but your quilt brought back a very
fond memory and one we should put back into practice. Especially with our economy the way it
is. What an in expensive and delightful afternoon picnics can be.
Blessings,
~peggy

Lisa, your quilt is beautiful! I love the colors. I have several quilt tops made, but I haven't finished one yet(big sigh), someday. :)

Take care, Melissa.
