Card Tricks Quilt

12 years ago

Last night I finished hand-quilting my parents' Card Tricks queen-size quilt. I started hand-piecing the blocks for it in 2009, ... has taken 5 years to complete. I echo quilted the 100 9" blocks. This will be my Christmas present for my parents this year. All that is left to do is to get my S-I-L to make me an embroidery label for the quilt. So happy it is finally finished!

Best to you,
Sandra

It's beautiful. Lots of love in all that stitching. Something about it says Irish to me, guess it's the green ;-)

Thank you all very much. The last quilt I made my parents was more for my mom and had lots of pink in it. This quilt with all the blues and greens was made more with my dad in mind as I am sure he is tired of pink, pink, pink on his bed LOL.

Best to you,
Sandra

Thank you all bunches. While working on my parents' quilt and my cousin's baby quilt, I have squeezed in some time for working on my Granny Square quilt which will be queensize -- I have all the blocks cut out and kitted up in ziploc sandwhich bags, so when I have down time or just need a break from other projects I hand piece granny blocks. Right now I am working on the last 4 blocks on my cousin's baby quilt which I hope to have completed before Thanksgiving.

Best to you all and thanks bunches,
Sandra

It's great to be able to see the finished product after following along for so long. It is beautiful and a real treasure. It will seem strange not to read about it on your weekend quilting entry.
