It's going to be beautiful, for sure.  Love the colors and patterns!
I'm excited for it to be done.

All done, and taken to Quilt Guild meeting tonight for show and tell.  Very well received, and someone wanted to claim in tonight, despite being a quilter herself.   [Invoice heading out tonight or tomorrow.]

Been working hard on a quilt for myself, trying a new technique, one I really don't care for, but will finish this quilt, and probably never do this technique again, nor make one so big again.
Pic is of 1/4 of the quilt, it is 50x50"; thus the whole quilt will be 100x100" and for my queen bed, so a bit big.

It's very beautiful, Chanda! 

You sound like my son, Tommy.  When he bought his house on the water a few years ago, it had concrete floors, and of course, he laid tile.  He designed a beautiful pattern which he and Ben started putting down.  About 4 days into it he swore he'd never do that pattern for anyone, EVER as it took so long to lay and was so intricate.  And he's kept his word -- never did it again.  It's a big house, and although it looks fabulous (like your quilt), every time someone compliments him on the pattern, saying they've never seen one like it before, he tells them "and you'll never see one again like it, because I'll never lay it again!"

Thank you.
I can do this pattern again, or something very similar, but not this technique.
That's funny about the flooring.

No new pictures, but the horse quilt is done.
And, the purple quilt is in the final stages of being done, just need to bind it (there are a couple borders on it now).
And, I have a red and white one to get pictures of (picture attached, isn't the whole quilt top).
All are available.
