Whig Rose finished!

Ok, this is the final post about this quilt but I did want to show it finished. Not sure why there is a white spot in the middle of it but let me assure you it must just be the lighting cause in person it looks great. I feel bad bragging but I am just so proud to have this one finished. Oh and before anyone comments that the corners aren't perfectly matched, that is actually the look I intended. I wanted this quilt to have the look of the original and I love that the corners aren't perfect! It delights me that when you first look at it you might think it is an antique.

It looks unbelievably gorgeous!! I think it looks very much like an antique and at first glance it would not be your corners that would make me think that (they look beautiful) - it would be because it's so densely hand quilted. You should be proud - it's an amazing quilt!

Your quilt is beautiful! I am assuming that you hand quilted it. I tried to enlarge the photos by clicking on them, but they got smaller (not bigger). I'd love to see the quilting on it! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this!

I'm just catching up but I did have to leave you a big hurrah for your stupendous quilt. It seriously is very beautiful. The quilting is divine, you deserve ribbons for this one. Please brag all you like and bring it back for the odd post here and there.
