I believe it was pieced in 2009, but I just got around to having it quilted this summer, and bound it today by machine. I am happy dancing here! So glad to have it done! I did not love this quilt, and that is why it took me so long to complete it. It will be going to my sister because she is the only one who has expressed any interest in it. It measures 94 1/2" X 77 1/2".
The quilting, which I do love, was done by my new quilting friend Denise Zapf. She is a member of an online group I am a part of and just happens to live in the same general area I do. Denise hand guided her long arm, which I know must have taken a long time. Look at all the curves!
It feels great to be getting some of my tops out of my closet and made into actual quilts!

You sure have been working hard at getting those WIP's finished. Colour me envious on your commitment to the task. It is a beautiful piece.
It's a nice finish with some gorgeous quilting. I've got a few Thimbleberries kits in my stash that are probably ten years old now. You've inspired me to get them out and decide if I love them enough to make them or to donate them. Have a great weekend! Andrea
Congrats on the finish - I bet it feels good to have it done and nice to be able to give it to your sister.
A wonderful finish, Laura. My, such a lot of piecing and such wonderful quilting. Your sister is going to love this beautiful quilt.
I am not a Thimbleberries fan either so I can see why it took so ling to finish it. But it is a very nice quilt, and your sister will love it. Good for you for hanging in there and getting it done!
