Don't you think this is one of the best part of quilting :-) A finished quilt!
It became a quilt with memories. I did a lot of quilting next to my dad in his last weeks. It was emotional for me to pick it up again. But I am so happy I finished it.

Oh my...what a beautiful quilt! Lots of special memories in those stitches.
Wauw!, Heb t boek, moet nog de driehoek lineaal en dan ga ik um ook maken. Met blauw is t mooier dan met t originele roze.

Your quilt is exquisite, Lucy! Although they are difficult memories for you...I'm certain it meant the world for your Dad to have you near him, stitching away.
Blessings to you.
It's a great quilt. I love the "blue sky" in the background that allow the colors to POP out!
The memories tied to it will be priceless.

This quilt is a definite treat! It is such a beauty!
I LOVE your triangle quilt! The fabrics you have chosen give it an "old quilt" look, which I love. The memories it brings you will be a great reminder of great times.
Hugs!

that a beautiful quilt, lucy. My sister made a similar one when our mum was dying and I now have that quilt. It is also a triangle quilt.
Lovely quilt, Lucy. Don't you love the texture that hand quilting gives? Just begs the hand to be run over it. Great work.

Lucy, your quilt is stunning ... a fitting tribute to your father's memory.
I remember when you were making that top, I wouldn't have thought it could get any better, but I like it even more now than I did then!! Wonderful job.
This is breathtaking. I'm sorry I wasn't around when you posted this early but I'm EVER SO GLAD I didn't miss it.
Amazing work!
so very pretty!
Absolutely beautiful :-)
Lucy what a special and beautiful quilt!
Your quilt is lovely and a perfect one to snuggle up with, near to memories of your dad!
It's a lovely quilt Lucy. I don't think I've ever seen that pattern before. It will have nice memories of your Dad I hope.
Lucy, your quilt is a treasure beyond what words can express. Very beautiful and such warm memories of your beloved father!
Love,

Oh Lucy, you are loved in more ways than one, 44 comments on this treasure you have made that will ever remind you of your Father. It has your touch.
This is true beauty. Well done.
The quilting is just perfect!*g*
Yes, the best part is definitely finishing. There is no better part of quilting. This is a very beautiful quilt.
Congratulations on making it into a magazine. It is definitely a thrill to find yourself in print. I will look for the article when my copy of McCalls Quilting arrives at my local magazine shop.
The quilt is beautiful!
Dear Lucy, Your quilt is absolutely beautiful and I hope it continues to give you much happiness. Would you be able to tell me what that pattern is called - I have not seen it before but would love to find something similar. Thank you for your wonderful blog - finding it has been one of my week's highlights! Warm regards, Lily
