I did it - I finished the quilt. Did the last stitches in the binding last night and even made it through cutting and trimming threads, and pulling out exposed basting stitches. Had DH help me get a pic this am, and I feel kind of sad when I look at it - I can't believe this is what I was hung up on for 3 months! Oh well, it will get wrapped and sent to it's new home this weekend. Thank you so much for the support and cheerleading! You guys are great!

| Yay Karlene! I like the simplicity of the pattern ... incredibly effective. What a striking quilt. I'm sure it will be very comfortable and truly loved in its new home. Congrats on FINISHING! Good job. Odessa |

It's gorgeous!!! I have had quilts that I lost interest in and then after I finished them I wondered 'WHY'.
Maybe it's just a mood that we are going thru.

| Congratulations on finishing. I like the narrow winding border. That must have taken a long time to put on! I also like your iris. |

| Wonderful job. Good for you. You'll feel so encouraged just to have it done. What will you make next? |

| Karlene, congratulations on finishing a wonderful quilt. Great job. That 'F' word is a good word, isn't it? TFS. ~Geraldine |

| Agree with Odessa. The simplicity of this quilt does make it effective, especially with that border. It's quite unlike any quilt I've seen, and it's pleasant to get a design surprise like that. I can hear your sigh of relief through the monitor. Nice job. |

| Karlene, I thought of you yesterday while I was taking a class on bindings. The instructor was showing samples of different scallop curves and discussing the "how tos". She said a very good, experienced friend needed help on her scalloped bias edged binding and struggled for so long that she finally cut it off the quilt and did a straight edge, she was so frustrated. The point was - it was better to do that than produce a poor job & I thought to myself 'or loose your mojo like Karlene!' You persevered, You won - Yea -You got your Majo back!!!! I also like your quilt. You should be proud for many reasons! |

| Congratulations! I like it, too. Simple and striking--course, iris is TN state flower so I'm biased. |

Thank you all so much. I don't do a lot of applique and even though I chose a simple vine/leaf applique, it took a lot longer than I thought it would, and then the scalloped border was a slow process. I actually have another quilt ready to quilt and a top ready to be sandwiched - I set them aside to get a 'simple' wedding quilt done first! Ha! Onwards and upwards!
