Fanfare and Drum Roll Please!!!

It is official, Nice People Nice Things is finally finished!!!
This quilt has been a marathon effort. Even DD2 commented by saying "You have been doing that for ever." And it sure felt like forever too!
The stitcheries were fun, but the Quilt-as-you-go method of putting it together is definetly something that you only try once!!
Winges aside it is a beautiful quilt and I really love it. (now that its finished)
It is sitting in pride of place on Pappa's Chair!
Even Samual George, the family Cat inspected the end result!
