Snowball Quilt finished!


This quilt is for me!  I am not giving this one away to family or friends.  I tend to do that alot but this time I wanted to keep one!  This one got started in April at the AQS Quilting festival in Paducah KY in a Kaffe Fasset class.  It took me quite some time to get it finished because it is HAND QUILTED by me!  I hope everyone has a Happy New Year and that this quilt brings you color and spring into your cold winter weather!  






I decided to put a patch on the back to remind me years later about my class with Kaffe Fassett at the AQS in Paducah Kentucky!  It was here he helped me design my "Cheeky Quilt".  I had to look up what it meant in the dictionary since I think it's a english term.  It means:  saucy, audacious, bold. That's me!  LOL  I simply wanted a bold quilt with great colors from Kaffe Fassett and some of my other favorite designers.

Oh my! Just to have finished the piecing in less than one year is phenomenal, but to do all that hand quilting as well???? It would take me a lifetime. ;) Very nice.

Beautiful quilt!
I was at Paducah last year. I wonder if I met you. I was a vendor down in the small room on the main floor. If not...stop by this year. I'd love to meet you.

It's a pretty amazing finish, with the great memory of taking the class with Kaffe, too. I do L.O.V.E. it. And it is done! I'd be sleeping under it tonight, are you?
