I have been doing this for most of the last 4 or so weeks. It has kept me busy - and hot!!
This is my first comissioned quilt. The one I got to play on :)
I have finished it now - the owner, Rosemary, has the binding and the washing to do now.
I wasn't quite sure how to go about it at first and did all the SID and round the applique first.
Then it was block by block sewing as I felt each block needed to compliment it.
Showing the back.
and the blocks. This one had me a bit stumped for a while, but the two circles and the feathers sorted it for me.
A dragon fly in flight.
A lily floating on the water.
( Not sure why this photo turned on its side)
A butterfly in flight
Then amongst the water, the ladybug hiding ;)
And the water lily. Andrea designed the flower in the middle.
The frog sitting amongst its eggs ..
Anther butterfly in flight
Another water lily floating
and another dragon fly and frog!
and showing the edge of the quilt.
All these were sitting in the swirl of the water ...
I am now taking a short break and will start again tomorrow.

You've done a sterling job on the quilting, Joan. I saw this in your studio and we discussed the issues you were having with it. Adding the inner quilting to those circles has really made them stand out. Wonderful quilting!!
