Red Delicious is done

Thank you Esther Aliu in Australia for this BOM. it is indeed delicious. i love, love, love it and it is going to hang on my living room wall.  a year well spent piecing.

i just finished quilting this today and wanted to share with all of you. it is one of my favorite quilts. there is a warm and natural batting on the bottom and an extra loft poly on top of that. when quilting down the backgrounds really tight it allowed the applique to stand out. i quilted with brown so fine thread top and bottom on the red areas...and a white in the backgrounds.

Here are the individual blocks. i quilted each background different. my fingers hurt after all that tiny quilting.

And here is a better view of the border

The back was pieced from the rest of the border fabric and some extra reds to make it large enough. this was so much fun.

thank you Esther
