I still can't really believe! Arcadia Avenue is finally done! It was a long haul but such a nice feeling to know that's it's finally all quilted! I knew it would be quite the project when I started but I had no idea it would take me this long.
I quilted parallel lines in the triangles along the edge of the quilt..I chalked a line down the middle as my own only marking. I quilted one inch away from the seam line and changed direction at the chalk line. Easy and fast!
Here's the quilt before I trimmed off the excess batting and backing. It looks so much better afterwards. Who cares?! It's done!!!!!
Wow, such a spectacular finish, and so much learned in the process of creating all those intricate blocks. We'll done!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I did learn a lot and am so glad I kept at it. But still happy that it's done!
DeleteCongratulations, Rosemary! What a beautiful quilt! I know you have lots of time invested in it, especially when you include the paper piecing, but it is so worth it when you see the finished product.
