He's gone now, so I'm attempting to do a wee catch-up.<br /><br />IT'S BEAUTIFUL! I'm so proud of you. DD2 and Hubby look like they're pretty darn proud of you too. Now, you must put a tag on the back of it -- advice from the one whose quilts mostly remain tagless {bows her head in shame}. <br /><br />Congratulations on a job well done!!!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-12377324570583611562013-12-24T02:14:19.419+00:002013-12-24T02:14:19.419+00:00Wow Isabelle! Hearty slaps on the back. You are no...Wow Isabelle! Hearty slaps on the back. You are now officially a quilter. One tip --- never, ever point out the faults in a quilt. For one thing they make your quilt unique and for another most of us are so busy admiring the overall effect that we don 't notice any imperfections -- can't even begin to guess where those joined seams are on the back.Another suggestion for your next project might be a "Trip Around the World" pattern, though a tractor quilt would be a big hit with a certain small gentleman.<br /><br />Hope all the Lifes have a lovely Christmas!mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03797484583400519909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-28007227268427344172013-12-20T23:01:13.753+00:002013-12-20T23:01:13.753+00:00Your quilt looks lovely.

A quilt like yours would probably take me a good six months. And I don't knit or crochet. So does that mean I'm not a proper quilter? Nah, just that I'm not as fast as most of you! Well done on creating your first heirloom quilt, that N. will be able to show off to his children in the distant future.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-37917493830477498022013-12-20T09:36:15.440+00:002013-12-20T09:36:15.440+00:00Wow!

If it helps, green can be a difficult colour to photograph well.....I used to work for a quilt magazine, and we dreaded having green quilts as they never looked as vibrant in a photo as they did in real life.
