Alice Payne Finished~
Finished size is 76" x 76"
Like Alice, I also used cheddar for the binding. I really like how the fans in the corners turned out.
I also used muslin on the back. It is great for seeing all the hand quilting. Still need a sleeve and label.
It was nearly 1 year to the day after completing the top, and about nine after starting the hand quilting.
I went to Illinois last week to visit my dear Mary who purchased the original (on right) in NYC in 1995 and gifted to me in 2013. I felt it was important for her to see it first and in person.
We had an "Alice Payne Day" at The Piecemaker Applique' group.
Kathy S. made a replica of the original. It is great - as is everything that Kathy does. Here is her finished top.
The first version created was a group effort with 16 of us making one block each (I made the strawberry block). We held a raffle for the blocks and Betty won and used green for the sashing.
Here is Susan's finished contemporary version. Susan included her own bird design. I love to see these personal touches.
Here are a couple of sneak peeks that I posted on instagram.
Luckily, all turned out just fine - no running and just the right amount of puckering.
Chicaoland was my home for over 40 years. I know I'm back when I stroll through here:
A beautiful sky as I headed back east.
I have been welcomed back with a mailbox stuffed with wonderful broken dishes blocks! Wee - it's been fun opening all the packages. I'll be sending reminder emails this week to swappers - deadline is in 5 days and I'm waiting for about half of you. eeeek
Thank you again for the encouragement on finishing Alice Payne. I'm intending to work on a pattern this winter.
Have a great week!
