I finished it!
Delph II was finished and handed in today along with 10 other quilts. My walls look very bare!

Progress
Got some more done on Delph II today. I think the border I've put on it comes pretty close to the virtual border I painted on the photo yesterday. Now I have two days to layer it, quilt it, bind it and put on a label. And do all my ordinary work...

Delph II
Remember I was wondering if I have time to finish Delph II in time to submit it for the show? Well, I've finished Delph III so I'm going to have a go. I've got until Saturday morning to finish and I don't know if I will manage it as I also have the sleeves to sew on the backs of the other 9 quilts I am submitting for the show.The first picture shows Delph II as it is at the moment. I've got about 2/3 of the black satin stitching around the florets finished. I've got maybe 1/3 of the pale satin stitching around the edges of the background diamonds done.
The second picture is my concept of how I might finish it. I took the
photo into Photoimpact and scribbled some dark "stitching" in behind the flower heads for stems and shadows. I drew pale stitching over the rest of the background and painted in a border. Unfortunately, I don't have fabric like that to make the border! But I could come close I think.

Another Challenge Quilt
Mmmm....., in my last post but one I was wondering if I could get Delph III finished AND Delph II finished in time to enter them in the show on the first Saturday in March. Well, there is no progress to report there BECAUSE I have started another quiltlet! There are three challenges classes we can enter in for this show and I have already made two entries for one of the challenges. You can see them here and here.
The Challenge I have made this little quiltlet for is this one:
Cotton-On Quilters are celebrating their 20th birthday in 2008. Make a quilt using the number 'Twenty' (20) in some way - for instance it may have 20 blocks or twenty pieces. The quilt may be any size up to a 40" square (2 x 20 :-)).
I still have to bind it and I'm still thinking I may do some more hand quilting or other embellishment, maybe some beads.
Can you see the five different ways I've incorporated 20? I'll accept a guess of four if the fifth is too hard...
