Linda, The Quilted Pineapple, who worked her magic on it. Back in July she had a special on her blog and I jumped on it. It was for an all over paisley quilt pattern. I knew this quilt was already so busy that custom quilting wouldn't be necessary.
Ta-Da! Fourth border on!!
My dad will be 87 next week so am taking a quick weekend trip to Washington (starting Friday) to visit him, bake him a cake and take him out to dinner. Probably won't post until next week!
Just lovely!

Both quilts are phenomenal! Still kicking myself that I wasn't paying attention when everyone was signing up for Beyond the Cherry Tree (though I'm sure it's a bit beyond my ability at the moment) I just LOVE this quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove that Blind Man's Fancy so much - and I know just which book it's in and for me it was love at first sight, the reason I bought the book!!! It looks sensational, I love it to bits, I really will have to study that pattern again!

ReplyDeleteLori, your two quilts are fabulous. I really like the pink tones in your Gentlemans Fancy quilt, and your Beyond the Cherry Tree quilt is stunning congratulations.
ReplyDeleteI looked at your quilts the other day and decided to come back to post because beautiful or amazing just didn't convey what I thought. Well guess what? Still can't. I love the colors you used on Gentleman's Fancy. It is really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Beyond the Cherry Tree renders me speechless. Honestly. And speechless just does not happen to me.
Enjoy your time with your Dad. Happy Birthday to him.
