                  1. So I just finished this quilt that I've been working on for the last year or more. Since my aunt isn't on Twitter (but IS on the shore) I thought I'd share some pics....

                  The back isn't much to see at this distance but it's VERY fully quilted.

                Some detail pictures. I desaturated the corner so you can kind of see the stitching there.

              Quilting this was very slow, hard work. I did a rope-type pattern on the crab and shore bird borders--thicker on the birds. I did a wave on the water border. I haven't used stencils much before but they were great here.

            Putting a label on it now and hoping maybe I can get a few outside pictures but the sun may not cooperate. My aunt is a Blue Crab person like me!

          I like to improvise, but this pattern was designed to be used with these fabrics and they're perfect. They're no longer in most stores so I tracked them down online from a half-dozen small quilt stores across the US and Canada and got the fabric set so it'd be perfect for her!

        I rarely make strictly to the pattern but the moment I saw this one I knew it was meant for my aunt.

      (I am very pleased with this / relieved it's done as it took me so much time to make... so I will probably be RTing this periodically)

    I had to look back at the pattern -- the quilt was designed by Morning Glory Designs for use with these Northcott fabrics.
