I guess the excitement on my face convinced Mr. Painted Quilt that it was something important so he, Ollie and I headed into town. I was sure it was my quilt that had made it's way home from Mary of Quilt Hollow...and guess what? It was!!!
As soon as we arrived back home I disappeared into my studio and went to work on the binding. Just a short while ago, I sewed the last stitch.
Glory Bound is now officially a finish!
I asked Mary if she would quilt it using the Baptist fan pattern.
A perfect marriage between the scrappiness and the quilting pattern, don't you think?
Thanks again, Mary for doing such a great job. I absolutely love it!
Happy stitching!

Wonderful job by yourself and your quilter. Baptist fan is one of my favorites.

That is a star spangled finish! I love how it turned out, and yes the Baptist fan is a good choice for it. My great grandmother was always partial to that pattern and seeing it always reminds me of her.

I've used the Baptist Fan on several of my quilts also, and it is a wonderful classic. Yours looks great.
Hi Kaaren,
Your quilt is just beautiful! The baptist fan quilting was the perfect choice for your perfectly pieced quilt. Love the combination of colors and patterns you chose - so pretty!
Warmest Regards,

I'm a huge fan of fans! It looks great!
I just got a top back from Mary too but haven't had a chance to do the binding yet. Yours looks wonderful! Mary does a fantastic job with her frosting :). I have Baptist Fans in mind for another top !
The quilt looks fabulous, and I love, love the Baptist Fan quilting. I tried to purchase this pattern, but the shipping & handling was ridiculous. Over $20 for a $10 pattern.
What a wonderful finish and such a great team you and Mary make. Your quilt is stellar and her quilting is like icing on the cake.
What a beautiful quilt, I just love scraps and the quilting is just gordius! Hugs from Sweden
LOVE your quilt and the finishing is so pretty! Never heard of a Baptist fan before and I'm a Baptist~ LOL!!
