Keira's Dresden Flowers & Flutters Quilt is Completed

 Granddaughter Keira's Dresden Flowers & Flutter quilt is finished, label and all.  It measures 86" x 86".  I designed it in EQ8.  The batting is Quilters' Dream 80/20.  There are many different threads; I used whatever I happened to have that was the right color.  The quilting is free-motion and rulerwork.  There are 6mm flat square Czech glass beads alongside the flanged 'picket fence'.  It was windy today when I took the final pictures, with gusts up to 20 mph.  I was glad for the paracord and long tent stakes, and the sandbags (I put pea gravel in them instead of sand; it's less messy) for the tripod legs!

Dresden Flowers & Flutters Done

 The 6mm square glass Czech beads are sewn onto the 'picket fence'.  The quilt is done; only the label needs to be made.  I'll do that tomorrow after I take pictures of the quilt outside.
