1718 Coverlet, the big reveal....


And it is finished! The 1718 coverlet is complete. I finished machine quilting and binding it last week. I am so in love with this quilt. I want to show it to everyone. 


I even brought the quilt to the lake this weekend to try and get some photos there, but it was too windy! My husband and boys don't even blink when I say...Stand on this picnic table and hold this quilt, please!! I wonder if they just think that it's a normal thing to do, or if they have accepted the fact that having a quilter in the family results in these requests? Either way...I am so blessed to have these guys in my life. 

Enjoy every stitch!
Diane
