Thank you all for your overwhelming response to my (almost) Mrs Billings finish. You're all so incredibly kind. And of course you know I'm entirely thrilled to have gotten it done under deadline ... only just!
Some sweet ladies have asked to see a close up of the quilting, and I'm happy to oblige. Please note that because of our dark wintery days right now, it's hard to get good pictures. That coupled with my complete lack of photography skills makes a picture haphazard at best. But here goes anyway:
This is an area out near the margins of the quilt - I will take some more pictures when it's hanging and I can get close.
I'd like to also say a big thank you to Sheila - she rescued me from my thread near-miss. I wasn't able to find the same thread I'd been using anywhere in the state and Sheila had a reel to lend me to help out. Thank you so much hon - very much appreciated. I had no idea I'd need two reels and a good portion of a third!!
And the good news is this: I've blocked and bound the quilt - that is a relief! The label is made, and now I just need to make up the hanging sleeve and sew the two items in place. Whew!!

Love the quilting!
Fabulous... Really is :) your hard work is totally worth the result.
I just can't believe you got it done so quickly - a lot of good quilting in this - your fingers must be sore! It looks great and when entered I hope it wins you a ribbon/prize :) well deserved I have enjoyed watching you make this one from start to finish
Can't wait to see it for real Tara. I was so happy that i could help get you over the line so to speak.
Wow indeed! Looks fabulous!
It's a beautiful quilt!
It is a stunning quilt - nice job!
the quilting looks fabulous Tazzie, I'm wondering if you have any fingers left at all :) can't wait to see it hanging now.
It is even more beautiful up close!
Wow!! Makes me tired to look at all that work! Beautiful!!
Just love the quilt and all the quilting you have done. Hope you can forget about the painful fingers soon and just enjoy the beautiful quilt!
Greetings Aurora
