The Queen is Finished!

Totally...and more than 3 weeks before she needs to be shipped!  Yippee !!!  That is a new record for me, as I am usually finishing up the final stitches on a label or sleeve just as the FedEx guy is ringing the doorbell for pickup!

I'm really pleased with her... and though she isn't perfect, she is better in every way than my last  large painted mermaid quilt. What do you think?

Mermaid's Reef (completed in 2006)



 

and Queen of the Nereids (completed this week :) )



All that's left now is to keep my fingers crossed that she does well in competition!

  4. You must be happy to be done. I can't study the photos because I'm traveling and they're hard to see on the phone but I can see the curved edge and it looks good.

  10. Oh Deb! Its gorgeous! Congrats on getting her finished EARLY! I did that panic sewing at the last minute on a quilt I entered in our local show. NEVER AGAIN! I love binding...I HATED it that day! If its not done by application deadline, it goes in the NEXT years show! I wish I could see this in person.
