I'm finished! And I like it. I have it temporarily hanging on another bigger quilt's hanger, so I need to make something new so it hangs better. The sashing, border, and binding are from a white kimono. The backing is blue cotton, and the sleeve is a panda cloth from the hyaku en store.
Wow, it looks stunning, I would hang it somewhere that you can enjoy seeing it everyday. If you are not happy with the way it is hanging, you could add some hand quilting to the kimono fabric sashes and borders to firm up that different weight fabric, the best solution would have been to use Pellon or some light thin batting in the sandwich. It is a sad fact that some fabrics don't play nice when you hang them but look fine on a flat surface. You have put so much time and thought into this lovely piece you must have really enjoyed the process and it shows your creativity in full bloom.
Congratulations! I love all your Suffolk puffs and the hexagons that spill out of the blocks. It is also a nice stitch sampler with all these seams, Woven Stars and Buttonhole Wheels.
I could sit and look at all the different fabrics and stitches and embellishments all day! The rainbow effect is so bright and happy. This is one truly lovely crazy quilt. Excellent work!!
I am not surprised that you are pleased with the finish, it's lovely; so much work has gone into it!
