Let's start with a finish

I finished the Celtic Knot quilt. 

So, a few comments on this quilt.  I loved piecing it, and I love how it went together, I like how I quilted it, and I am especially happy that it is finished.

It was my goal and intention to heavily quilt this, and that I did.  But....I got so tired of working on this one.  I think what tipped the scales was not the amount of quilting, but the hundreds of starts and stops.  I used four different thread colors, and that was the reason for all the starts and stops.

Each little white square, each individual colored square was a  start and stop.  What was I thinking?   I was thinking I wanted each strand to stand on it's own, and to have a cool back.

I learn something from every quilt I work on, and I learned a lot from this one.  I need to consider the quilting path, thread changes, and especially starts and stops.  I like to  matching the thread color to the quilt color, but sometimes this is not the best choice.  Anyway, I am happy with the finished quilt, and am especially glad that it is done.

Happy New Year to you all, I appreciate you stopping by.
