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:

Susan, that is stunning! I love the way your beautiful blocks are framed and of course Fiona is just the best! Beautiful. xx
The quilt is lovely! I just recently learned about sashiko and I would like to try it but probably later this summer. I love your ferns....you did a beautiful job!
It looks great. Definitely worth taking the trouble to finally finishing off.
Very pretty! I love sashiko... well done for finishing it! xx
Looks beautiful Susan..... I found my runner the other day. Must get it finished off. I do enjoy that stitching
Gorgeous quilt!!!
I think we can all relate to the "then it sat" parts of your story.
