It's done. Brought it for Show and Tell this morning at BOM LQS. If I ever get a quilt completely done like this one is, I'm as thrilled about that simple fact as I am about the quilt itself! I love the black toile border. It is Jefferson County by Michael Miller, not sure how old it is, not real old, but it was in my stash. I had to piece all of the sections and one end has three stacked pieces. Well, patchworking is the name of this game, eh? :-)
It's hard to see, but I graduated all of the prairie point colors in a (reproduction style that is) rainbow sequence.

Well done and doesn't that prairie point border look good on there!

Very nice! I like the look of prairie points too, but have never tried to make them.
It's AWESOME! The prairie points are great - love that toile, too.
WOW....this is beautiful. I love the prairie points. I have never done ending like this but after seen your quilt I am sure I am going to do prarie points.
Wow, well done, and all finished! Love the fabric
The prairie points turned out so well-can't believe you have it finished already.
That turned out GORGEOUS!! Love the colors and especially the prairie points. I am a huge fan of PPs myself! Way to go.
The prairie points make a tremendous finish to the quilt. The toile is great too! In fact, I love your whole quilt.
It is so lovely!!! And the prairie points are perfect !
NEAT! (I love the toile & hte prairie points - so glad they are arranged in a way that mirrors the blocks instead of randomly all over. & I already mentioned how I like the way you did the borders on the shoo flies - mono-chromatic, but different colors!) YAY You!
Sorry to hear about the crappy job....
What a great idea using the toile for the border - I don't think I would have ever thought of doing that! Changes the look of the blocks completely. What a wonderful quilt this has turned out to be. The prairie points are a nice touch along the edge.
Any chance you can find yourself a different job? Life is just too short to be so miserable!
Your finished quilt looks so good.
This turned out great. I hope to get back to work on mine tonight or tomorrow. The prairie points are a really nice touch.
I love Prairie points and they look extra special working their way round going through the colours - a lovely end to a really nice quilt
Fantastic job Karen! It is gorgeous, I love the toile also! What a great finish.
Oh I LOVE it Karen! You quilt is great, and I love the toile you used for the border! And the prairie points are fun too!
It's more beautiful, Karen, than I could have imagined! It has such a quaint, old-worldliness (a word?) to it. Gorgeous! Give yourself a good pat on the back.
