My eight sisterhood sisters holding hands around the mini quilt. I received seven of these blocks in the sister hood block swap earlier in the year.
I have to admit there were times this month that I didn't think I would manage to get it done. Like that week I had a virus and just couldn't bring myself to do anything in the evenings. But it's done and I couldn't be happier.
Here's a close up of my "big" stitch quilting.
I used three strands of Aurifil embroidery thread. I chose a light ivory colour to fade into the background. I seem to prefer to have the quilting play a more supportive role to the piecing, although as my quilting improves I may change that preference. If you are interested in purchasing the pattern for this cute paper pieced block you can pick it up at Happy Sew Lucky.
Linking with Patty of Elm Street Quilts for the OMG linkup and with the 3rd quarter 2019 FAL. The original post is here.

Oooh I love your version of the Sisterhood Quilt and glad you were able to finish it Hope you are feeling better. I'm feeling bad that this pattern is no longer available. I hope you have a place to hang it on your wall because it's that special.
I love the big stitch quilting. This is just lovely!
Congratulations, Lisa. You did an excellent job. I remember you were not certain if all hands would touch but they do. Very well done! ;^)

Your girls are sweet! I have an octet of those blocks in my sewing room, but they're still playing by themselves because I was wondering what they should become. Your mini is lovely.
