I put the last stitches in yesterday with just a few hours to spare!
Thank you to all who commented on my last post and talked me off the ledge, so to speak. I put down the seam ripper and left the 150 and dates the way they were, and that was the right thing to do!

Your quilt top was already beautiful, but your quilting put it over the top! A perfect tribute to the 150th anniversary of confederation. How many treats does Rosie require for a photo shoot? Lulu seems to think that one is not enough.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is incredibly beautiful, and such a tribute to your beloved Canada! Your detailed quilting with so much historical information is so special. Your red fabric is pretty, and your background fabric was a terrific choice with its printed news articles. Your quilt is quite a treasure for sure, and made with much love for your homeland! Congratulations on a gorgeous finish! ---"Love"
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing quilt! So glad you left the 150 as is - it is perfect. Great job and Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day! Your quilt is gorgeous - the quilting is the perfect. So glad you got it finished! ~Jeanne
ReplyDeleteIt's a triumph and a fitting tribute to Canada's special milestone. My Grandmother and all her sisters married Canadians, so I always have a special fondness for the country and its people. Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! You must be ecstatic to have it all done for today!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful, Joanne. I am sorry I didn't have time to make it, but I think I will eventually, for my hubby's Canadian heritage.
ReplyDeleteCanuck Quilter, What a wonderful finish!! Your circles worked quite well for this. I have been stymied as to how to quilt mine, and you have now given me some ideas. Thanks for the pattern and inspiration ... as you have seen, I changed it up to let me put the province/territory names and years on. I think we were both surprised 1/2 way through when we discovered we were both planning that extra touch. Thank you SO much for sharing ... and giving me some much-needed inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful quilt to commemorate a wonderful occasion.
ReplyDeleteHappy Canada Day.
This came out terrific! I really like the quilting details. I'm glad you didn't rip the stuff out. What fun. I'm looking forward to what others post as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne, your quilt is really great. You did a wonderful job! I really hope to make it someday soon. Hope you had a good Canada Day :-) Thanks for linking up to Celebrate - Fêtons 150!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see this, it just reinforces how much I love it! It's still my favorite!
ReplyDeleteYour Canada Day quilt is lovely and something you can be proud of! It's especially nice that the pattern was free and I loved looking at the quilts that others had made using your pattern for inspiration.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is lovely! Thank for sharing!

ReplyDeleteYour Canada Day quilt is gorgeous. I love the fabrics and the circular quilting around the large star. You did such a nice job with a great pattern.
ReplyDeleteI am very interested in the printed fabric in the background. Could you please tell me the name of it and where I could purchase some? My hubby's family is from Canada and I thought he might get a charge out of it. Dawn Rochester NY
