Another UFO completed..... The Conversation Quilt.

I am so proud of this one, I completed it in 3 months and it was a block of the month for 12 months.  It was difficult but doable as you can see. 

Here is what it looked like a month ago and here is where I wrote about doing this challenge (3 times I tried to complete this one)

And here is where it is now.

I still have to quilt it, I'm waiting for some backing that I got for $7.00 a meter considering I needed at last 9 meters to do this baby.  It's a queen size quilt, with each row a new pattern

Some of these patterns were very difficult and some were brand new (like the third from the top - I love this block now, want a complete quilt with just that block).

The quilt is by Anne Marie Chany and although I love her patterns this one had to be exact every time.  Each block needed to measure 6 1/2" to perfection.  Many you have to cut down to size.  She gives you bigger sizes on purpose to cut down.  Now that takes a lot of time.

But I love how I used up all my scraps in this one (still have scraps darn it!!!) and it's so colorful it makes me happy.  Plus the bonus is I have a cousin who's getting married (just got engaged 2 weeks ago) and this would be the perfect gift for him and his wonderful girlfriend (now it's fiancee). 

It's perfect for a queen size bed and although I want to send it to a quilting place to be done, I just can't stomach the pricing of someone else doing it when I think I can do it myself.  I'll stitch in the ditch along the white, but I have to think of a pattern for the red.  Not hearts, but how about paisley and hearts?

I'll need to put a date on it somewhere for the two of them. 

And while I was working on this one I also had a few others done including one for the AQS for the month of June.  But that's another two posts  :)  

So happy me!!!  It was great to finally get this done.  Now on to the next and some quilting.
