Almost – that is. While the quilt was laying on my bed a found three places that I missed a few of the grid lines.
I don’t know if the circle is too puffy, or is it okay? If it does need more quilting, I am not exactl sure what I would put.
Two for the price of one (here is the other side of the quilt).
At 3:30 am this morning I decided to email the person that is over quilt registration for the quilt show and see if I could drop the quilt off to her house on Monday evening or Tuesday morning. If not, I would have to withdraw this quilt – there was no way I was going to be able to go get it comleted by Saturday afternoon. At 6:30 am I had to get up to help Tom take our car that got the doors smashed in the car accident the day I left for Utah. When I got home the lady had not emailed me back so I thought that maybe I should go down and just start working to see if I could by chance still get it completed. But, GOOD NEWS – I can drop off the quilt at her home on Tuesday. I will need to take my other quilts on Saturday. I am off to take a nap before I go to the temple tonight.
You are way to kind! At this point I am just trying to get the finishing touches completed so that it CAN hang at the show!
Oh MaryAnne… it looks gorgeous. Congratulations on finishing it, or should I say almost finishing it. I will miss seeing a ribbon on it this weekend :-), but good luck!
This quilt represents six generations – My Great-grandmother, grandmother, mother, me, daughters, granddaughters. Four generations have actually touched and worked on this quilt. My mother had made the embroidery blocks before she passes away. Three years ago I tooke the foot and hand prints of my granddaughters just after Prairie was born. This has been an incredible project to work on. You can read all the post about the progress of this quilt here: http://www.newyorkquilter.com/search/label/Quilt%3A%20%20The%20Generations%20Unite
After you question, I have decided to do a blog entry about the story of this quilt so it is all in one place. I need to get this quilt washed, blocked and competed by tommorow morning, so tha post will have to wait for a few days.
I will include this quilt in the lecture that I offer: The Legacy Lives On – Six Geneartions of Quilters.

I Love your quilt. Can you tell me a little more about?
Your quilt is beautiful. I can’t wait to see it in June. Looking forward to seeing you then. Take care.
Mary Anne the circle is too puffy. If you have time I would do a little quilting. With the amount of quilting on the rest of the quilt it kinda looks like you forgot these areas. Sorry for being so blunt however I think, no, I know you’ll be happier if you quilt the circles.
