Rhapsody in Blue

The inside applique border has been quilted. There is no background stitching, the quilting is around the applique.

The pictures are from the left outside border to the right outside border.










This border was 9" wide so now there is 86" left to quilt. I'm hoping to be ready to start the center medallion by New Year's Day. 

The next section to be quilted is another 9" row of the blue patchwork. 

Just to remind you, I did not do the applique, that was completed by my friend Elaine.
