After Twenty years!

Jacki started this quilt about twenty years ago & here it is finished!!

Done as a BOM through Grandmothers Garden, a pattern by Jan Patek , which I see from Jan's blog she is running as a collectors series, apparently this was Jan's first BOM.

Some of the blocks........................

Jacki wanted no heavy quilting & I had to agree that was the best road to take. She thought the best would be to hand quilt using a large running stitch, but then thought it might take another twenty years to finish!!
I thought loose stipple was in keeping with the style with a few other bits n' bobs thrown in.
And last but certainly not least the back..............

Jacki makes the most wonderful pieced backs, they add an extra punch of interest.

Click to enlarge the photo's. You will see three orphaned blocks, one is this wonderful cat................

Cotton/ bamboo batting, plaids, brushed cottons, flannels. Black flannel was used for the sashing & binding.

Take a bow Jacki.....you did a great job!
