Yep, that's my Tatoo Quilt;) I love it!
I hand quilted it with a big primitive stitch around the edges of each block, and tied it in the middle of each one to make sure the batting didn't shift on me. I didn't take a picture of them, but my fingers on my left hand look like I have to check my blood sugar a hundred times a day;)
I'm happy it's done. I haven't finished a personal (something for me) project in ages. Baby quilts here, quilt show stuff there, on and on. I know I promised my brother and his wife a funky quilt, but they aren't getting this one. I'm still not sure if I will keep it, or sell it on my Etsy site. If I do decide to sell it, it will be for a pretty penny.
I have most of my pattern that I was putting together done, but I need my hubby's computer intelligence to get it put together in an emailable PDF format. He won't be able to spend time on it until this coming Tuesday, so hopefully I will be able to share it with those who are interested then.
I could do housework the rest of the night...I put off doing the dishes to make sure my fingers were in quilting shape. I could sort through paperwork, but I don't feel like thinking about bills right now. Or I could work on another UFO, or even start a whole new project.
I think I will start the rest of my night off with a cup of coffee and some yoga. That should get me centered.
Happy Quilting!!

I remember this quilt -- how clever of you to hand quilt
and tie it. I'm sure your brother and sister-in-law would love the funky, kinky look. Better not let them see it! I guess your 'quilter's block' is history.

This is a gerat quilt. It's not the fabrics I would pick out but it is really beautiful. Glad you got it finished and I hope you hang on to it at least for awhile. You put so much into it, it is really a special piece.
I'm looking forward to your pattern, it is a cute project. Tuesday isn't too far away, we will all be anxiously waiting.
Hope you decided to do something fun, the dishes will be there tomorrow. Enjoy yourself!
I love the colors, especially the red; they all work so very well together; it is quite a striking quilt! The prints are something I probably would not have chosen, but you love them, and that's all that matters. Looks like you did a great job with your quilting also. I think you should keep it too! Funny how we become so attached to a quilt we are making, isn't it? ---"Love"

I love it too! And every time I see that big stitch quilting I think to myself that I have to do that soon. (I was going to on a doll quilt and chickened out!)

Relax and enjoy while you ponder your next project.
