Welcome to my day on the Rose Pink blog hop. This blog hop was to have one or more of the following things featured in our post - Rose/ Pink fabric, Eyeglasses, Roses, and / or Positive Words. My project for this hop was started many years ago, and two of the 4 characteristics for the hop - pink fabric and positive words.
The top was put together not long after I got the blocks and then it sat in my UFO tote. When I pulled it out, I decided that I didn't like how I had done the borders. So the first thing I did was to take the three borders off, and then put what had been the second border back onto the quilt.
* The paper-pieced star in the top right, the star used as a label were made by Jane.
* Susan W made the checkerboard strips ad the trip around the world block
* Sue W made the wise men gifts and the embroidered verse block
* Sue W made the wise men gifts and the embroidered verse block
* Linda L made the celtic know strip, the quarter-square and half-square triangle strips.
I added the remainder of the blocks. The border used the final scraps of the fabrics I had sent out for the original swap.
Final block from one of the gals was used as the label for the quilt. Binding fabric and backing were both from my stash

Gratitudes:
1. I'm thankful that while most of my commissions at this point are handwork (cross-stitch and repair work on quilts), that I've had time to work on some of my own projects.
2. For the time that I spend in helping my dad.

Wow, the cross stitch from 1990 is very pretty. Your completed quilt looks wonderful.
I love this quilt! It's not only gorgeous but also thoughtful and meaningful. I like your color choices and the partially scrappy border - not sure if what that is called but it is so pretty.
Your header Bible verse is my favorite. :)
What a beautiful treasure you and your hop friends collectively created! It not only holds memories, but such an uplifting message!
What a beautiful and uplifting quilt made with friends, what could be more "positive". Congratulations on the finish.
