E2E quilt design: Joyful (with Pearls) by Christy Dillon from My Creative Stitches. I would have this one again on another quilt.
It was pure joy to work on this quilt during troubling times. Now, if only I can get rid of those extra pounds that were put on during the same time ....
A lot of tiny scraps were used during the making of this quilt.
My arms ached a number of nights working on basting those hexagons and sewing them all together. Why? Because I was so obsessed in getting this quilt done. Worth it? Oh yes.
Now that this quilt is done, I can focus on ufo's ..... again! LOL
Cherish your day, cherish your life!

Your quilt is lovely.
It’s beautiful and a memorable quilt to remember during COVID 19.
Oh - that is so pretty! Love the border choices, just right for a flower garden quilt.
Hi Rose Marie, I enjoyed reading your Cottage post and may I say I send the very best healing wishes to your sister.
Meanwhile, you have another great finish here. Beautifully sewn and well worth the hand stitched efforts.
Wow! What a beautiful quilt and an extraordinary speedy finish! All those small fabric bits found a lovely place to call home.
Hi there. I'm a new reader and am in awe of that gorgeous quilt in the wildflowers in your header. I've been inspired to do a mini tumbler in 30's repros to reach a similar effect. Thanks for the inspiration.
LOVE this one !!! It's delicate looking and perfect.
corona flowers are so lovely....congrats on the finish......
