After an amazingly long time with many stops and starts, I have finished quilting the last quilt I ever intend to quilt.* The first post I have on this quilt is from 2007<\/a>. I wasn’t as diligent then about documenting my process, so the post is surprisingly spare on details. However there is an even older image<\/a>, from April 2003, that shows the bones of the quilt in existence at that time and says that I started the quilt in May 2002. Assuming that is true, this partial finish is a true accomplishment. This quilt has been in progress for 20 years. Crazy!<\/p>\n

Tarts Come to Tea: quilting finished<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the reasons I don’t like to quilt is that I am obsessive about the lines being very close together to get my quilt flat as a pancake. If you look at the larger version of this photo you will see how close together my quilting ended up.<\/p>\n

I think the piece looks pretty good, if a bit dated. Working on it has inspired me to to maybe sew a second\/recreation of “He Tried to Make it Up to Her”<\/a>. I have one block I can use and I think I have the templates for the others. Also, I really like the idea of using Philip Jacobs flowers for the basket of flowers in the bottom center. I don’t enjoy the thought of all the satin stitching required, but maybe I can do one block at a time.<\/p>\n

Look for another post about the quilting. I plan to milk all that work, trust me!<\/p>\n
