Spring Quilt Finished

The is the finished quilt, the back shown first - has one strip of patchwork across it, also shown in the pictures are matching tea mats.
The quilt measures 54" by 70", the biggest I've make yet. It is also the first time I've used white.
I was asked in my last post of this quilt if this was a "Disappearing 9- Patch", since then I checked into that design and found out it IS. (Thanks Deborah) It's good to know what it's called :)
This will get packaged and mailed to a lovely lady in Great Britain as per an etsy order!

I have a couple of projects yet to finish ... then it will be some slow down time on quilting as Spring arrives and time gets spent on cleaning up the gardens and planting, etc. March is National Quilt Month. April brings other things!

Happy Weekend!

Quilting...

...almost done.
This has been the largest quilt
I've free-motion quilted yet.
I'm done with the middle and am straight
stitching around the border piece currently.
It's put me in the mood for Spring.

We have a fresh layer of pure white snow all around. It's very pretty. However, I am dreaming of Spring!
Raw edge applique flowers on white linen and quilted. Including bees.
Fun and pretty tea mat for Spring! Available here on etsy.

The diagnosis on the buzzing in my ears was that the eustachian tubes in the inner ears were swollen. I was prescribed some steroid nasal spray and it is slowly helping. Thanks to all for your caring comments!

Quilted teapot and bee

I wonder...

Maybe I've been inspired to quilt teapots and bees
because of the noise in my ears...
My ears have been not only ringing
but sounding like the tea kettle whistling.

It gets so loud at night I can't sleep.
