Bouquets for a New Day

Bouquets for a New Day - I started this quilt in 2008 when Sue Garman's pattern and instructions were first posted. I followed month by month faithfully. But good hand applique takes time. Work schedules, illnesses, then a move across the ocean when all my things were in storage for months got in the way. Once the blocks were finished, I sewed on the plain cream border suggest but was not satisfied. I just had to do more hand applique to complicate things. Then how to quilt it? The center was mostly done struggling with a domestic Bernina. Half way through I decided to buy an Innova long arm quilter. Now, four years later, I can finally say I am finished and satisfied. Four years was well worth it!
