An epic finish

 It feels like an epic finish.  I started this quilt in 2004 maybe at least that is when the Kim Diehl book was published.  I made this with a group of friends, we each made our own but most followed Kim's directions for half square triangles in the spools.  I did them with the y seam. (click for step by step how to)  I started hand quilting this because that was the overwhelming consensus to hand quilt.  So I did until a couple moves ago when it ended up in a box and then on the top shelf of my art materials closet.  I pulled it out this winter and studied it for a while.  Finish hand quilting this or just finish it?!?!   Only 3 spools left to quilt but all those geese.... .....and then somthing traditional in the plain borders. Will it ever get finished if I hand quilt it? In all honesty, probably not, then it will end up on a rummage sale when I am gone.  I really love these colors and the pattern.  Its my quilt..... finish it by machine and finish it.  So I did and I feel so go to finish a quilt that I started 17 years ago.  --Ann--
