Well, almost!
For those with great eyes, you can see that the birds at the top still need to be sewn down.
I love this quilt, but I am so ready for it to be done!
Do you ever feel that way about a project?
Also finished piecing the center of Pinwheels for Caroline, so my next goal is to finish the ocean waves blocks for the border.
This weekend was the balloon fest here in Pagosa Springs. I was a tad tardy getting myself there on Saturday, but managed a few pics on Sunday.
Notice the carved statue below the balloon.
There are several of these around town.
We are headed to Ouray and Telluride this am for some higher altitude hiking and then back to Arizona at the end of the week. It is freezing here this morning (my house was 58 degrees when I climbed out of bed...good quilt snuggling weather!) I am sure I will miss it once I return to the heat of the desert.
See you all in a week.
That is my old stomping grounds! I was born very near Ouray...have fun!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is wonderful! I like the squirrel and pumpkin block best, I think. And I do feel the same as you about finishing a bigger project. I sometimes go on a marathon stitching time trying to get those last parts done.
ReplyDeleteYour appliqué is gorgeous. Congrats on making some headway and yes that feeling is all too familiar. lol
ReplyDeleteHave a great time hiking. Looking forward to your pics when you return. Safe travels. Love the bear carvings in the pic with the hot air balloon. Jo
The quilt is wonderful, i'm happy for your goal!
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top is so pretty! But I know what you mean about finally being finished.
