This is a table topper that I started about 4 years ago.
Heck I probably blogged it when I finished the applique flowers.
I can't remember for sure.
I do believe it is a Cottonway pattern though.
I have been buying Cottonway patterns for EVER.
Anyhow, why blog it now?
well it's been in my to-be-quilted pile for 3 years at least.
I was looking for another project this last weekend and found it in the pile, already layered and pinned.
I was going to quilt it at one time...obviously.
I set it on my cutting table next to my hand stitching bag.
That's when a light bulb went off...
Use PEARL COTTON!
So I decided to hand quilt it in size 8 Pearl Cotton....
I will show you the progress as I make some.
{p.s. I get distracted easily with quilting...
again that's probably extremely obvious}

It will feel good to finish up a project that's been a WIP for so long!
Hi vickie, another blogger and i are starting Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday this week. We are going to take the first two fridays of the month each and let others host the other two when they have a significant finish. Are you interested in linking in? :)

Oh, what a great idea! Can't wait to see it finished!
so pretty! I love the flower shapes

Would you share some tips on hand quilting? I've never tried it but have a couple of smaller projects that I think would look better hand quilted.
