| I've been hand-quilting this for the last two months. Finished at last! It's 40" x 40." |
 |
| It started with this block that I designed in an appliqué class with Gwen Marston. I thought I'd be making the block into a pillow. |
 |
| I'd also been fooling around with words, using Tonya Ricucci's book, Word Play Quilts. Then Tonya visited in July, and designed this quilt with my orphan blocks. |
 |
| Many of you helped with advice on dealing with hand pain. |
 |
| And that got me through to the finish line! |
 |
| I like the way it looks over the fireplace, and it's a good reminder! |

Congratulations, what a fantastic quilt and it looks so great on the wall. Big wow on the hand quilting which looks awesome.
I really love this quilt. Bravo !
This is just amazing. There is so much to look at - the different blocks, the triangle squares, the lettering and the lovely tulips. It does look good above the fireplace. It has all come together beautifully.
It is an incredible quilt. Congratulations on all your hard work, it was certainly worth it. It does look fabulous over your fireplace. xo
What a joyful quilt!! Gratitude is such a great word. Congratulations on finishing!! I really love the spiral hand quilting over the wonky blocks!! I hope your hand pain has gotten better.
Congratulations on a beautiful finish! I love how the playfulness and whimsy all comes together. Very pretty colors with the one plaid really catching my attention.

Fantastic quilt...so bright and cheery...just the thing to lift one's spirits up in the cold winter!
Spectacular. Love the picture of the quilt up on the wall - helps to see it "in context". Glad that you hand quilted. There is way too much fast quilting (fusing and machine quilting) going on these days. The hand work is lovely.
LeeAnn,
Congratulations on another finish! It looks beautiful! I did not realize the size of it until you mentioned it. It looks great above the fireplace. So happy!
Swoon!
it looks lovely above the fireplace. Congrats on the finish~ I really should go hand quilt something...
When I saw that I thought 'Gwen Marston' - lucky you to have done a class with her. And what an inspirational friend you have with Tonya.
I love your orphan blocks - since I saw your Christmas quilt I have been wanting some of my own - going to be my thing this year - when I see a block I like, make it!
It looks just fabulous!! I love the color and also the color of the thread you chose to hand quilt this piece. Just gorgeous!

Another wonder!!! I love all your solids with just a spark of plaid and that lettering print. Really gives great focus.
