   You did an Amazing Job with your Colors & Contrast! Each Block is Visible but none of them jump out & steal the show! When you get it Quilted, it will be so Cozy and just such a relaxing piece of Art Work as you & others view & study it up close! You may even forget all the Frustration that came with putting it all together! You are an inspiration!!! Congratulations on completing this challenging Quilt! Freda

   Wow! Love it! So colorful!!! Also—Is there any other way to watch a football game other than having some animal/s snuggling on your lap???!!! Way to go Hawkeyes—keep it going!

   I love it! I am jealous- I am stuck on the last few filler blocks and my motivation is gone….but I was just looking at her “it’s a small world “…..next year?????

      No! Not unless you’re going to be the leader, Heather! Then I might consider it.

    Holy wow! Was it just yesterday you only had one row done? I don’t know how you do it, knowing all the chores and other things you do in a day! It looks great. Congratulations and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

13. Lorna November 25, 2015 at 8:36 pm

    Awesome job…..you can add one more thing to be thankful for at dinner tomorrow! I want to make one, too!
14. Denyse November 25, 2015 at 7:55 pm

    Thank you for sharing your experiences as you worked through the sections on this quilt! This finished quilt will not quietly lie on a bed; it will insist on being examined and touched and explored and loved. Mary, you met the challenge of exceeding your comfort zone and look at the result! Beautiful! A wonderful Thanksgiving treat for all of us. Thank you!

    I cannot believe all those discreet and sometimes weirdly wild blocks came together so well! It really is a show piece. I loved your pinwheels when you showed them individually, and I am drawn to them again now, they make your eye travel around the quilt!

    What a fun project, now that it is done.
16. Beryl Hoff November 25, 2015 at 7:05 pm

    I am with Becky…WOW!
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for!

    fabulous.
25. Rose Mikulski November 25, 2015 at 5:06 pm

    Big Hallelujah! It looks great! Glad you had the patience to finish it the way it suppose to be. Love looking at all the fabrics you used, it’s like fabric hieroglyphic.
26. VA Mann November 25, 2015 at 4:58 pm

    Wow! Very impressive. When you first started this journey and posting various blocks I though ok..looks interesting. But now…amazing! Might have to put on my to do list next year. Love all the stories on the furry borders. What is the update on your newest kitty? Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
27. Lisa November 25, 2015 at 4:56 pm

    Wow, it’s beautiful! I have gathered all the fabrics I want to use in mine, will start cutting and sewing in the New Year. Happy Thanksgiving!
28. Kate Schloemer November 25, 2015 at 4:47 pm

    Wow!!!!! It came together beautifully. Wonder how you managed sewing today with all those grand dogs there.
29. Diana November 25, 2015 at 4:44 pm

    I just started my Gypsy wife this week – hope it turns out as nice as yours did!! LOVE IT!!!
30. Angie Rowland November 25, 2015 at 4:39 pm

    I LOVE it BUT you must be blind sewing it together. Have a WONDERFUL holiday.
31. Fiona at Ice Bear Quilts November 25, 2015 at 4:37 pm

    Wow! Well done Mary, your Gypsy Wife looks fabulous! I am still cutting strips, but this gives me hope!
    Have a great Thanksgiving,

    Kind Regards Fiona.
32. Diane November 25, 2015 at 4:28 pm

    Wow!! I’m impressed and love the colors. AND, May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs:)
33. Jeanice Domino November 25, 2015 at 4:27 pm

    Yippee!
34. MartyCae Klein November 25, 2015 at 4:08 pm

    This is beautiful and I loved all the posts with the individual blocks!
35. Betty Klosterman November 25, 2015 at 4:03 pm

    Very interesting! Very busy! Very challenging and who would ever know if it was put together right? And who cares! It looks great, especially with all the color, shapes and streamers. Patience is a real virtue and you did it. Great job. It works. Maybe the incomplete instructions are to challenge the sewer as there may not be a really easy way to put it together?

    In the meantime, back to something simple? Isn’t “retirement” fun?
    Have a nice Thanksgiving. Hope you aren’t having bad weather. It doesn’t sound very good around us with blizzard warnings, etc. If you can believe the weather report, Rapid City should get just 1-2″ of snow with wind and COLD–enough snow to make it slippery. It is about 25 degrees right now, but the wind is blowing and it chills to the bone. Had to turn the heat up as the house is cool. Supposed to be colder tomorrow and Friday, but this is November. We had 60 a couple days ago.

    Amazing quilt!! I am in awe of all that you do! Love seeing pics of all your animals as well as the quilts. Looking forward to making a rug in January!
37. Mary Harwood November 25, 2015 at 3:50 pm

    All I can say is “Wow”!!
38. Judy November 25, 2015 at 3:42 pm

    Mary, your Gypsy Wife is wonderful. Who knew all those fabrics would look so good together.
    Mine is only 1/3 finished. I will do it after the New Year.
39. Diane Deibler November 25, 2015 at 3:39 pm

    Beautiful!
