Heart's Desire - Finished

Here it is.  This took most of a year to get done, but it was very fun to do.  I do enjoy applique a lot.



My colors are very similar to Esther's.  I looked at hers next to mine and I did copy her a lot.  But I do like the pinks and greens together.  I also like how the leaves run outside of the box.  It doesn't seem boxish.
You can see my curved crosshatch, which was really interesting to do in a long border.  I had to adjust  how I did it as the movement of the curves rather surprised me.  I probably won't do curved crosshatching again on a long border.
I did my form of McTavish in the applique blocks.


 Some feathers other places.





 I like hanging quilts over my stair railing.



I found this pic of Eloise after I posted the last ones yesterday.  This is from the same evening and the best one.  We now have over a foot of snow.  That's unusual for us in the Pacific Northwest.  The children will have fun today.

  2. Your quilt is breathtaking wonderful. Did you do this on a longarm machine? I have to decide if I can do it on my domestic machine or have a pro do it on a longarm. That baby is so precious. What fun.
