At last!

It seems that I’ve been working on this quilt forever. Adding to the delay in finishing it was the fact that I had to order more crystals when I ran out of some of the colors I was using. But it’s finally done! Okay, I still need to block it, but that’s minor. It’s impossible to see the little sparkles in this overall picture, but they are there, I promise.

On the right is a detail shot of one of the New York Beauty blocks, where you might be able to see some of the bling, as well as one of the feathered corners. It was a lot of fun deciding which crystal colors to use on each block.

And here is a shot of one of the stars in between the blocks. I didn’t add as many crystals on these stars. This quilt used a lot of different techniques, including paper piecing, free motion quilting, and ruler work. The only part I couldn’t do on my Bernina was adding the crystals!
