Red Delicious Is Finished

Red Delicious is finally finished after a year and a half. It was started at the beginning of 2009 as a mystery block of the month. I made one month each month and this year put it together and just finished quilting it. What a relief to get done. It turned out not too badly. The quilting was a project all of its own. I'm not real pleased with the tension of the quilting but it will have to do. I did free motion quilting of feathers mainly in all the blocks but in the black sashing strips I did a little spiral that does not show up in the pictures. The fabric pieces of each block were fused and then stitched over the raw edges with a method Patsy Thomas uses and calls EKG quilting. It was a different approach to finishing off the edges.
So here are the pictures.
