Thanks to Wendy of Sugarlane Designs, I spent Friday night getting the binding ready (there is so much of it!), now all I have to do it put it on. I just couldn't wait to show you the photos, now that she is back from Mandy my great long-arm quilter friend.
Just love the centre panel with those gorgeous flowers and sweet butterflies.
Mandy did a wonderful job of filling in the background with Ricky Doodles (thats what I call them??) and swirls all around the border... Lovely
I love feathers so I asked to have some put in and look what she came up with. (I've just noticed I need to embroider a little eye on my mouse..oops).
Check out the water fill quilting that goes all around the gorgeous blue water and sky.
My favorite part is the Wisteria, very time consuming to do but it came up a treat.
If you would like to see my progress making this quilt, check out my Bella Garden label on the side, to see how each block came into being Or pop on over to the McKenna Ryan Group here to see other terrific McKenna Ryan projects
This one is going in the entry hall when its finished. Its too nice to hide away in a cupboard so I have Mr H rearranging furniture so I can find a wall big enough to hang her.

It is stunning and I just wish I had the patience to do a McKenna Ryan quilt. Beautifully quilted too! It is obvious you are more than thrilled by this finish and so you should be....well done!

What a very beautiful quilt. The flowers and colours are stunning. Good place to hang it in the hall so everyone can admire it.
oh my goodness Dawn, this is just incredible! so much work & it's simply amazing! Congratulations & massive woo hoo being sent your way!
What more do you need to do to it?
McKenna Ryan's patterns are so beautiful but always a challenge. It is beautiful. Your longarm quilter did a lovely job...but I'm sure it helped that she had a well constructed top to quilt.
Dear Dawn,
this is just such a gorgeous quilt, wonderful applique. You are so talented.
Greetings,
Sylvia
