I just finished this 'Trip Around the World' top this morning. After starting the dishwasher, a load of laundry and an episode of 'Wives and Daughters', I glued myself to my sewing chair and wouldn't allow myself to be distracted by children wondering why I was watching a movie in the middle of the morning :)
I needed to get this done and out of my head so that I could focus on spring cleaning and preparing for our first set of guests who arrive next weekend!
I am making this quilt for my daughter Anne. The quilt I made her two years ago was accidentally packed into our long term storage--which means we won't see it again for at least 3 more years!
And so we decided to go ahead and make a new one--this time 'A Trip Around the World' quilt for a little girl who has lived around the world--she has lived in 5 different countries in her short 10 years on this earth :)
I love the bright colors she chose!

Very pretty--lucky girl!
Wow! I'm totally impressed...it's really beautiful!
You should run a "guess how many squares are in this quilt" contest. You must have a LOT of patience! It's really beautiful. Love it!

You did a beautiful job.
Have a nice weekend.
Sincerely, Trish

I'm clicking over from Crazy Mom and HAD to comment--amazing work!!! I don't know if I'm bold enough to try it, but I sure love the way it looks!
SO beautiful! I'll bet she just loves it. :)
Wow. It looks GREAT! And I love Wives and Daughters, too.
If you finish quilting yours before I finish mine I'll be quite jealous, since you started yours after mine. ;) Have you decided how to quilt it?
I've wanted to make a Trip Around The World (quilt, not the real thing!) for a while. Yours is beautiful!
this is pure awesomeness. i'm blown away.
