I love the brightness of the fabrics but I have to admit I don't like working on them as much as I enjoy working with fabric that is more subdued like Jan Patek or Jo Morton or CW reproductions.
When I finished the applique, I boxed up all the leftover fabric to give to a friend, folded the quilt top rightside inside, hung it in the closet, and was finally able to relax. Silly I know but, after all that work I was just ready to be done.
Hope it's not too hot where you are and that you aren't in any fire danger.

What an amazing finish...simply gorgeous! BRAVO!!!
Ahh, Robin, what a marvel! I was thinking this morning how skillful one must be to create detailed appliqued quilts like this one that require careful placement and great attention to color and the cutting of fabric for symmetry, balance, and unity in the finished blocks and quilt, and how skillful one must be. You must be so pleased. I know the feeling of "being done." Sometimes enough is enough and our brains and hands need a break from a creative work. Thinking down the road (if you have, or maybe it's too soon), will you hand quilt this, machine quilt it yourself, or send it to someone else to machine quilt it? It's just delightful!
OMG, it is just gorgeous! Good for you.
An absolute stunner, Robin! What an heirloom this is already. Is it something the kids will fight over? :)
Love it.... Looks great..... Lots of work in this one......
It is hard to work out of our color comfort zone but this is such a lovely quilt. What will you use for the borders since you've given all the leftovers away? No applique there?
Robin your quilt is so beautiful. It takes my breath away. Hugs
Wow! I have to tell you, it that was mine I'd be basking for a mighty long time.:-)
What a great completion! So much work and effort! Good job on getting to this point. Just beautiful.:)
