The quilt top is finally finished. I started this quilt back in 2003. Took a break from it due to some health issues. Picked up again last year, and wah-lah. This is called Grandma's Apron Strings. As you can see it has hundreds of squares and blocks. Now all I have to do is get it quilted. We have a long arm in class but I have spent so much time on this, and since I have never used a long arm machine, I am considering taking this to a professional.
There are some ladies out there that can look at a quilt and know just the right design to use. Believe me, it takes talent and a lot of experience to do something like that. It is pricey but worth it.
The border is called "piano keys". I also mitered the corners.
And now, I am off to a quilt show with Dore'. Hope I don't spend too much money. No wonder I have to keep working.

Wow!!Your quilt is beautiful. I would never have the patience to make one... unless....it was made with maybe...six big squares.
