Such a beautiful quilt! I too climbed to the crown once and that stairway up and back down is quite the journey!

Thank you, Heather. The evening of the day we climbed to the crown, Mark and I (we were dating at the time) flew to Paris (my first time). We climbed to the top of Sacre Coeur, almost the same number of steps.

Amazing quilt. You have always done top prize quilts. What an honor to have a picture frame made out of the border.

Love this! I hope to master needle-turned appliqué someday. Last night I was reading a book by Margaret Sampson-George that is wildly inspiring!

Thank you for sharing your work process. Figuring out settings, especially for multi-size blocks is always a challenge for me :) Wishing you and yours a lovely holiday weekend.
