There are a lot of pictures to show you today since I posted two Sundays about the Sauder Quilt Show.
The center blocks in Hearts & Wreaths quilt so much faster than the outside border did. I've made it across the blocks, not quite to the center of the row.
Here are the pictures from the right side of the quilt to the left side.

I've quilted across the center of the quilt!
Here are those pictures again from the right side to the left side.
I've reached another milestone while quilting. This spool of thread is empty, it held 500 yards of thread!

Reading that first post of the beginnings of Hearts and Wreaths, I'm so glad you decided to make more than four blocks of this gorgeous quilt, Gretchen. It's interesting that you didn't quite know how the applique would go. When I look at Hearts and Wreaths all those leaves and hearts are a triumph in applique! That light at the end of your quilting tunnel is beginning to shine brighter now.
So many different fabrics in this quilt! I am in awe of your quilting and appliqué skills!
That's a lot of thread! You've made such good progress on Hearts and Wreaths.
Your wreaths are so scrappily pretty! Wow on the thread, that is incredible. How do you hand quilt - do you have one of those big frames? What is that thread holder called? Did someone make it for you? (Sorry for all the questions!)
I get your posts via Feedly, since I added you to my "Blogs I Follow".
What fabulous quilting! I can hardly wait to see the finished quilt.
I follow you on feedly - it updates if the blog updates I've never had trouble with it. Your stitching is so neat and so is your applique
It's crazy how much thread goes into a quilt! A spool sure represents a ton of stitches! It was great to see your progress on this beautiful quilt!
oh my that is sooo gorgeous...a pattern i've admired since my early days of quilting...i've caved and an making 4 blocks only...yours is a true heirloom...
Beautifully applied. Wonderfully quilted and the little hearts in the corners are very beautiful.
Beautiful fabrics.
Good work. Congratulations.
I'm glad I got to see it.
Many greetings to you.
I thoroughly enjoyed your quilt show photos, but I love seeing your quilting.
Your hearts and wreaths are always a delight to look at!
This quilt has me wishing that I were your daughter and would one day get this beauty!!! Simply gorgeous!!
That's a huge finished spool! Lovely hand quilting, and I love this joyful quilt. You have such cute fabrics, and a fabulous artistic flair to mix them beautifully.
A quilt made of love, it's going to be spectacular.
Dear Gretchen,
Wow, the thread is all gone and you have quilted wreaths and flowers beautifully. Always enjoy seeing Your hand quilting. Congratulations on winning ribbons for your quilts recently. Thank you for sharing the photos of the quilts in the show, it is a special treat to see them. Have a great day.
Love everything about this quilt! Looking forward to seeing it off the frame, binding on and washed/dried.
Magnificent Gretchen!
I must echo Kathy, magnificent! I clicked on your photos to see up close. Just perfect applique and stitches, Gretchen. Also so nice to see those pretty fabrics up close. Another treasure!
LOL I love to keep track of my thread! How many miles, I always think! But by hand! As always, such beautiful work!
Wow, Gretchen!! That's a lot of thread being quilted by hand! It's all gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings!
I have said it before- this is one of my favorites that you have worked on, Gretchen. It is a beauty!
It's really beautiful. Such skill.
