Picture Heavy Quilting and Embroidery Post

I literally finished this quilt just before the deadline to hand it in earlier today.  This is the second time I’ve let things get this close to a deadline and I am so glad it’s behind me now!  My photos aren’t great, but here’s the final “Birds of Paradise Quilt” that measures 68 inches x 68 inches:

…and here are the corner setting triangles:

I love the way the intricate embroidery on the headdresses came out:

The splayed feather border on yellow background:

 The ruler work in the dark blue outer border does not show well in these photos, but I like it better after it’s been hyperquilted:

and the center-most section of the outermost border:

…and the corners of the outermost border:

 I am happily on to my next quilting adventure.  Hope you are having some fun in your “quilty world” as well!
