    Default Blue Ridge Beauty quilt FINISHED!

    I started this quilt as a "leader/ender" project. It is from Bonnie Hunter's "Adventures with Leaders and Enders" book. About half-way through, though, it became my primary project.

    It is machine pieced and hand-quilted and is for my nephew that just got out of the Marines. It is queen-sized.

    This is very lovely. How long did it take you to hand quilt this?

    It took about 2.5 months to hand quilt this quilt.

    Love your quilt. What a special quilt it becomes when quilted by hand.
