| The name of this queen size quilt is Victorian Melody. The fabric is extra fabric I purchased 20 years ago to make one of the daughters brides maid dresses from.
I planned on at that time making a quilt from the same fabric. Finally now that I have more time I have made it.
I had it machine quilted. Twenty years ago I used to hand quilt all of my quilts and working full time it would take me a year to do one. |

| Very lovely quilt, Loralee. Talk about a long time in the planning stage! I'm glad you were finally able to make it, and machine quilting is a perfectly good alternative when time is an issue. Is this quilt for your daughter or will you keep it for yourself? |

| The dark fabric is a burgandy and it is the same color in the center of the pink roses. The quilt will either be for the daughter or the granddaughter. I have made each of the girls quilts for their wedding and have been working on each of the granddaughters quilts. |

| Very nice! Doesn't it feel good to finish something that was so long in the planning? I'm sure many of us have those projects......somewhere.... Teresa |

| It does feel great to have the planned quilt finished. I had decided to buy an armoire to put a lot of my fabric in. I had it in boxes in the attic and never could find anything. So, when I needed fabric I would go buy more. Then came the process of moving and sorting the fabric!! I found 2 other quilts that I had planned and forgotten about. Fabric little mock up done of each quilt. |

| The quilt is lovely. You did a great job to get it done after all this time. How about a picture of your mock ups? We never get tired of pictures. |
