Wot RoTT exchange quilt top is complete. The picture does not show it all... it is eight blocks across and five rows down. Once I decided what to make with the reels, this quilt was so much fun to piece. I think it was so much fun because every time a reel went under the needle, with all the papers still attached, I recognized all the frequent contributors to the Forum and felt I truly had received a block from a friend. After a while, I knew your blocks without even looking at the names! As for those whom I did not know, I felt I had to look you up on "Find a Member," to know a little more about you and the quilting you do--sometimes I learned a little more about the contributors to my quilt, sometimes I stared at a blank profile, but in the end, as I look at my quilt, I feel the camaraderie and friendship that this quilt came from.
The next step will be deciding whether to keep it as a throw or add another border for a queen sized bed. After watching Jacquie Gering's episode the other day, I am pretty sure I know what the quilting is going to look like...
I will post again when it is completed.
Thank you all for this wonderful WotRoTT exchange. A special thank you to Rosemary and Lorna, without whom it truly would not have been possible!
