Green Sashiko Ferns

A long time ago . . .I signed up for this BOM.  Green Foliage Quilt from Indigo Niche.  But I've always called it Green Sashiko Ferns.

 It seems I started it in April 2012...and finished stitching the sashiko in April 2013.
Then it sat . . .
It became a flimsy in 2017 at retreat .
Then it sat . . .
Finally I sent it along to the wonderful quilting guru Fiona who has quilted all around the leaves...very painstaking, but it looks wonderful.
Then it sat . . .but only for a bit this time.

 I added the binding and finished the hand stitching during two Zoom meetings.

 Glad to call it a finish.

 The resident quilt holder upperer wasn't available so these will have to do for now.


 it's hard to see the detail, so one close up shot:

    I think we can all relate to the "then it sat" parts of your story.
