I loved it then and I think it made a terrific quilt, although it was kind of like a long and painful labour to birth this quilt baby! LOL
This quilt was quite an accomplishment for me since it was my first time making seminole borders and it was a challenge indeed. But I am happy with how it all turned out and pleased as punch to have a finished quilt top!
To see more finishes for November, hop over to A Lovely Year of Finishes link up. And to see more progress being made on the "Bonnie UFO Challenge", hop over to Jo's Country Junction.

A big thank you to Bonnie Hunter for this pattern and for all the fun she has given us quilters over the years.
And now....
Bonnie's next mystery called Grand Illusion starts on Friday over at Quiltville. You can see my fabric choices here. Are you joining in the fun? All the Hot Quilters are doing it! LOL

Your work is beautiful!! And it all fits and is flat...yahoo!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on finishing RRCB! I didn't do that mystery, I was a little scared :) 2 friends convinced me to do Easy Street and now I'm hooked! I can't wait to see Grand Illusion! I'm doing mine in the same colors as Bonnie. I did that with Celtic Solstice and also Easy Street and love both quilts so I'm trusting her again.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see your progress with using a different color palette.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Oh Kathy it is gorgeous! You were rewarded well for facing those borders - I think they add so much to the quilt.

Great job Kathy! I knew you could do it. Have fun starting your new quilt on Friday!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!!! I know you have been wanting to finish this one up for a while now - doesn't it feel GREAT??? I'm so happy for you, and your quilt is absolutely gorgeous! Those fabrics are perfect :)
ReplyDeleteVery very very beautiful, BRAVO !
ReplyDeleteI love how it turned out. Your colors are terrific. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful. I love the border.
ReplyDeleteyour quilt has turned out lovely - now on to quilting it have you decided if you will be doing it by hand or by machine. I am hooked on making large quilts and tend to make more very large quilts than small ones - I use the large quilts more. You may have had difficulty with your border but it turned out so pretty it was worth the trouble I bet.

Great job! Your RRCB is beautiful and you're more than halfway finished with your UFOs!
ReplyDeleteYeah...you met your goal! It looks great too.
ReplyDeleteWOOHOO!! And a great big pat on the back!! You did great to get it done. And now you can concentrate on the new mystery.
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, Kathy! All that hard work and frustration with the border certainly paid off big time!
ReplyDeleteI guess I fit in the "not-so-hot" quilter category. Don't plan to do Grand Illusion. Not a good track record for me with Bonnie's mysteries. I have Easy Street still unassembled and Celtic Solstice drafted as a mini and never started. Orca Bay is a flimsy--that is one positive, kind of. : )
Congratulations, Kathy, it looks wonderful. Great job!
ReplyDeleteYes, I am! I've never done one before, but I'm hopping on the bus this year!
ReplyDeleteWay to go girl! Super finish! Grand quilt - no wait that's the next one coming up on Friday!
ReplyDeleteFabulous finish! The nicest cotton boll I have seen. The borders were worth the effort!
