SWAP QUILT FINISHED

I recently showed the completed quilt top and now I have the quilting done and the binding attached.  It is ready to be mailed to my swap partner.  I hand quilted this and enjoyed doing it.  I haven't done much hand quilting in the last couple years.

To refresh your memory, the applique blocks are from a Lori Smith pattern.  Her quilt pattern business is named "From My Heart to Your Hands".  I would like to combine the applique blocks from this pattern with some other applique patterns I have and make a quilt for myself.  Probably with a different layout.  I forget how many block patterns there are in the pattern but several that I did not include in this quilt.

Thanks for taking time to pay my blog a visit.
