Rotherfield Grey Quilt Finish

My Rotherfield Grey quilt top is finally finished.  I've been working on the applique' of the outside border for what seemed like ages.  Those are English paper pieced 1" stars that are appliqued' onto the background squares.  


Here are a few photos of different parts of the quilt.  This center was my first attempt at broderie perse.  I love how the flowers look.  Those center hexagons are 1/2".


The braid was all appliqued' on by hand.  The hexagons in the border below are 5/8".  


I loved cutting up some of my stash to make the rectangular framed border.


Each of the outside stars has 3 of the same brown points and 3 of various other colors. I fussy cut the brown star points so each would have a flower at the point.  After I took the photo below, I tore the corners off and fixed them.  All of the borders that have a star in the corner are facing the same direction.  The corner stars in the outside border were twisted the wrong way.  Probably no one besides me would have noticed that.  


This was the outside corner of the rectangular round. 


This top was a huge finish.  I've been working on this one off and on for about a year.  

I hope you are finding some time to stitch today.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

  21. Your top is just gorgeous, as is all of your work. You are very inspiring - I have the tiniest of starts on a Mrs. Billings, and your finish makes me want to dig in and get it done. Beautiful work. Thank you also for sharing your fussy-cutting instructions in previous posts.

  24. Well done you! We are all at different levels in our quilting journey but speaking just for myself I find no joy in viewing quilts whose sole purpose in being made was the speed in which factory precut fabric can be sewed into strips and called finished.
