White and scrappy calico quilt top finished
I finally got it all put together, and as soon as I piece the backing, it will go to the quilt shop. I am pleased with the overall effect, but surely need to work on my technique! The appliqued bonnet girl square didn't seem to fit with the scrappiness of the other squares so she will become a pillow with a coordinating border -- similar to what I put on the ends of the quilt.

Due to the size of the quilt, I made several more squares to fill in. I enjoyed that much more than trying to get this all put together. I need a larger table!

Melissa, Karen, Pauline and 3 others like this.

And I finally found mine in the group.

Thanks -- I enjoyed the process. I took it to the quilt shop today and the two ladies that work there didn't fall on the floor laughing, so I figure it will come out OK. They are going to use an all-over large stippling pattern to quilt it. I can't wait to see the end result.
