The Dutch Windmill Quilt is complete.

The Dutch Windmill quilt. 

The back. 

A close up of the black thread on black and the gold/pink variegated thread on the windmills. 
Conditions were right tonight for a photo shoot.  My friends helpfully held the quilt while their cat sniffed it. You can see him in lower right corner of the first photo; he's black so he blends right in and I'm sure wants this for his own.  I'm so very happy with how this turned out. The next step will be to figure out where to hang it.  I'd like to put it in the stairway here, but I don't know if I will be able to do that without killing myself.  Adversity builds character as they say.  (I know this because I am a Packer fan.)

  3. Oh, thank you so much! I'm so proud of this and will always think of Amsterdam when I look at it. Coincidentally, I've been communicating with Deb (from our tour) on facebook and she is in Amsterdam right now and staying at our old hotel. What a great group of people! I think that's why I like these tours so much - the people are so much fun!
