This weekend I'm hanging out and sewing with my friends for our annual Gruber's quilt retreat. This is year 7 (!!!) and it keeps getting better and better. I've appreciated having the time to sew and laugh with my friends and sew some more. I'm super excited, because it gave me time to finish up my "dot your i's" quilt top! I started this project exactly one year ago. I'm thrilled to have it in quilt top form. Already!
Now, it's your turn! Please link up your finishes for the week. Thank you for joining me for finish it up Friday!
This looks some lovely and will be perfect hand quilted.

I can see why it is an instant favorite. I love it! Have a great weekend with friends.
ReplyDeleteLovely! That is really a lot of hand stitching--396 squares! It was worth it, though, because the quilt turned out great. Have fun with the hand quilting!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful! It looks like there are so many beautiful fabrics in there :) Enjoy your retreat. It sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt turned out beautifully! I love that they are squircles...a soft, lovely and unexpected shape :)

ReplyDeleteA beautiful quilt made all the more special by the length of time it's taken and the memories sewn in.
ReplyDeleteWow. Gorgeous. I used to do hand applique. The eyes aren't what the used to be. Love yours. Thanks for sharing and thanks for the party!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt, and you are SO a better "man" than me! That's a lot of work.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love it! And I must ask...WHAT is your quilt top hanging on? It does not look like normal pickup gate...
ReplyDeleteThat quilt is gorgeous. I've been seeing some of them around the internet. Everyone seems to want to make them in mass like yours - and I agree it's the best look. Thank you for sharing it...I'm inspired to make one!!

ReplyDeleteHi Amanda,
ReplyDeleteThis quilt looks like the perfect hand sewing project for me to work on while hubs & I are on our 95 day US road trip. I have ordered Carolyn's book so I can learn the technique. Would you tell me how large your circles were at the start? I'd like to get them prepped. I leave Monday. :)
Have a great retreat!
It's an instant favorite for me, too. I love it! And it's a perfect take along project. I may need to add this one to my list.
ReplyDeleteYou get to retreat at Gruber's! So very, very, jealous :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! You inspired me to start two Dot Your i's projects! One is a quilt, the other a crocheted afghan for my fourth grand baby! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteVery cute and I know exactly where that picture was taken, too. :) I don't have the patience for needle turn appliqué. I commend you.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing!
