A Finish


Yesterday I put the finishing touches on my "Tiptoe Through the Tulips" quilt.  I still need to make a label for it, but otherwise, it's all finished.  It was quilted by my long arm quilter, Tammi.  I think she did a beautiful job on it. 


This is the back.  I found that panel while I was making the quilt.  I thought I might use it to make some matching pillowcases, but then ended up using it as a panel on the back.  Tammi found a perfectly coordinated variegated thread for the quilting.  She said she had purchased it for a different project, but then used it on mine instead.  (Lucky me!)



Here is a close-up of the tulips.


Here are the matching pillowcases.



I'm going to use one of these little paper-pieced tulips for the label.

George offered his undying support and devotion through the entire process.



So . . . (dusting off hands), another UFO is history.

Your quilt is so beautiful!! Using a panel piece for the back is a wonderful idea. The quilting is a perfect compliment to all of your wonderful work.

Lovely in every respect. The back, the pillowcases, the quilting... all speak to me on some level. Nice work, Barbara.
