The last stitches

 I started this quilt in 2007.  It is 2019.  A long, long time coming...but it is completely finished.  The last of those tiny hand stitches were taken last night.
Hurrah!!!!  Hurrah!!!!

Such a beautiful quilt! Congratulations on finishing it! There is no rule that quilts have to be finished fast .... sometimes they have to sit and mature! A lot of mine do!😳
