Jacobean finished

I finished my Jacobean quilt. I started the first piece of applique on July 6, 2014. I combined 3 of Patricia B. Campbell's patterns and even designed one of the blocks myself. It's needleturn applique and I also hand quilted it. I've added beads and crystals. Used batiks and Kaffe's fabrics. The background fabric is a yellow batik. I used Ombre fabric for the vines.
El Pajaro en el Jardin de Flores (aka The Bird in the Flower Garden)

Top together

I got the top together on Monday.  What a challenge.  Since the squares were all different size and shapes it was something else.  Quilting it by the square also added to the challenge, but I prayed alot and it's together.  I'm sewing the back sashing together now.  Then I have to add the outside border, same fabric as the front sashing, then quilt those and it will be finished.  I checked and I started appliquing this one July 6, 2014....oh yes and I still have to add beads and crystals.  Oh boy, still lots to do on this one, but it certainly is further along that it was.....

Jacobean going together

Well, I almost have the Jacobean together.  since I'm quilting it "lap quilting" style it makes it different to put together.  Challenging I would say.....I hope to get it together today, then I have to echo quilt into the sashing and finish "blinging" it.....I love this quilt....
hopefully I will show completed pictures very soon

Jacobean first two squares sewn together

I just couldn't wait, even tho I haven't finished quilting that last square.  I sewed two blocks together to see how much more echo quilting I have to do on the joined blocks.  I also have to extend the echo quilting into the sashing.  The sashing is a batik that's purple, lime green, and yellow.  I think it's going to look great, there but not there, does that make sense....I still have to "bling" several of the blocks, including this bird block

Get Out Of That Cat Box.....this one's For Sale....
