Big Photo Op
After days of hand-hemming the burgundy binding, (I swear there is a fifth side to a quilt when you are binding) my ginourmous Patches & Pinwheels is finished except for the label. I'm kinda waffling on that because I'm unsure if I'll name it "Calliope Music" or just call it Patches & Pinwheels. The photo session was bright but windy. I want to say a huge "THANK YOU" to Bonnie K. Hunter for making this beautiful design available for free on her blog (http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/patches-pinwheels.html).
You will notice that there is a piece added into the flannel backing that is unmatched. I plan on locating the label centered on that to frame it. I would like to sell this quilt, it is 92"X104" and I would price it at $475.00 plus shipping.
My husband, Felix has passed away after almost 50 years of marriage. I live on our 20+ acre hobby farm in beautiful downtown Gilmanton Iron Works, New Hampshire, U.S.A.

What a fabulous quilt. I hope you get your asking price, it is worth it for all the work :)
It's beautiful Vic!! Someone will be very proud to own it.
I already commented on this gorgeous quilt, but I LOVE the part about 5 sides, and yes, sometimes I think a quilt had 6 or 7 corners, when you are tired of hand sewing the binding! 8-)) It sure is a beauty!
I also LOVE Missouri Quilting, and watch many of their videos. I tried that 3-dudes thing - looks good to me! You are a prolific abd skillful quiltmaker!!!!
