Chasing Dreams

 This quilt has been a long time in the making.
I bought the kit years ago in a quilt shop I visited on vacation.
I would pull it out to make,
look at the directions
and back into the cabinet it would go.
 
This went on for years!
Finally last year I told myself
"Go big or go home".
It's now or never.
 
I cut all of the pieces and took it to quilt camp with me
and finished the top shortly there after.
I was thrilled!!
 
Fast forward to this past week.
My longarm quilter, Jennifer, finished it
and I could not be happier with her quilting.
She did an unbelievable job on it.
 
It's bound and hanging in my foyer.
 
 




 
 This was well worth the wait of me getting my courage up to make it.
I need a challenge like this every once in a while and
am so happy when it turns out so well.
 
Happy Quilting!

The quilt, and the quilting, are both stunning. I have also purchased kits or patterns, only to put them back in a project bin for later. And yes, later does eventually come. However, there are many more kits/patterns waiting for me to take on the challenge and tackle them!
