Getting Closer

I have spent the past few weeks quilting my Dresden flower quilt.  I started working on this quilt last year.  It seems there's been lots of interruptions, but I can finally say it's almost done.
I love this pattern by Edyta Sitar.
First I outlined all the appliqué. 
Then there was some hand quilting. Actually, there was a lot of hand quilting.
And a lot of pink thread!!
Then it was time for some machine quilting.  This quilt is going in our guild quilt show in April so I'm saving the big reveal until then.  But it's a happy quilt and has been a joy to work on.
Happy stitching,
Karen
