Scallop Success

Worked non-stop 15 hours on Sunday from 3am to 6pm on that scalloped border. There was only one way to stay On Task:

And huge relief, it is done:

Is that orange slice candies I see?
Fifteen hours on that scallop border! Determination for sure. Next time, make the scallops wider and they won't give you a headache. The finished quilt was worth all the trouble you have gone to!

No chocolate? What were you doing up at 3am? I though I was the only goof ball that woke up and got up that early.

The quilt is darling and I love the colors, especially in the center.

Karen, that quilt is a show stopper! Amazing color, and killer scalloped borders! Consider your 15 hour marathon well served. Now go to bed!

Love that quilt and the scallops! The colors are just so vibrant. Scallops that small are a pain, but so worth it.

But look at how wonderful your quilt is - well worth the time, effort and snacks *s*

Just gorgeous Karen. What amazing stamina you have - 15 hours working at scallops - that must be some kind of quilting record!

That's an impressive tight scallop on your border. You HAVE to be proud that you've finished it. The colors are striking.
I'd forgotten about orange slices. I may have to put those on my shopping list.

and it turned out beautifully!
The scallop border really adds to the interest of this quilt.
Nice work!

I see you got the food groups right, even if I am questioning your sanity with that scalloped border. It is fantastic, though, well worth it!

it looks great but that doesn't look like enough supplies for 15 hours!
