Finished Quilt

Hello on this cold day again.
I have finaly finished the quilt for my Great Uncle and Aunt. From the book Two From One Jelly Roll Quilts by Pam & Nicky Lintott. The Snapdragon Quilt.

I chose this design first as it did not have many triangles in it. In the spaces Ihand  embroided their names , children and grandchildren. Put where they lived, hobbies , pets, collectables and the flags of the country the come from. I hand quilted the whole quilt .

With the other half of the jelly roll I going make another quilt for good friend's 50th Birthday for June. I have to start now to finish in time.
