Maple Leaf Quilt :: Done!
At last, I finally got this finished and it's been added to the FWYH photo pool. I meant to have it ready to share first thing this morning but I've had no time to sit down, let alone try and doctor dozens of bad photos. The light in the entry-hall is just marginally adequate and only at a certain time of the day. A time, apparently, that came and went before I got around to picking up my camera. I did my best given the circumstances. Here's the scope of it anyway. I still can't believe it. It's done! And all's well. No one will ever be the wiser about that teensy binding snafu of mine either. It's just "our little secret" now. {wink}
More bad pictures here.
congrats! What a lovely addition to your foyer.

What fun it has been to see it evolve! It's nice to know this kind of beauty doesn't just happen overnight.

I am your long reader. I love your work and admire the pictures you posted. Your maple quilt is very pretty. Thank you for sharing. I have read many new craft books recently. I was wondering where do you get your "wool felt". I have visited couple fabric and craft stores. They don't carry them.
Thanks again

It turned out so nice, Vicki!
I really love it, and the charming way that you've decorated your entry.
Hanging your quilt there, is a lovely way to say "Welcome" and evoke an appreciation of the season.
Take care.

Your quilt turned out BEAUTIFULLY!! I mean WOW!! Then I wonder, have you ever made anything not gorgeous. I've been reading your blog for awhile and never seen anything that wasn't wonderful!!
I'd say it was worth the hastle for the extra binding, really adds just the right pop.
