The quilt is my own original design, though I was inspired by a design on a gift bag. DD#2 sketched the pattern to size, DD#3 helped choose fabrics and DD#1 did some of my chores so I could get in more quilting time. TWQ measures 95 " square and is hand appliqued and hand quilted. Every stitch was stitched with love and prayers! When I worked on it I called it - "Heirloom Time"!
Without further ado...
By the way - I entered TWQ in our guild's annual quilt show and it received 1st place in its category! I was surprised but very pleased!
This project was definitely a "journey" from selecting a pattern/design, to choosing fabrics, to appliqueing, to piecing the borders, to marking the quilting designs, to quilting, to fixing the mistakes - but a very fulfilling journey - one that took:
Blessings to each and every one of you wonderful blogging friends!

Heirloom is absolutely the right word here! What a treasure you have created. It is beautiful in design and workmanship (and in one of my favorite color combinations!!). I am not at all surprised that it took 1st in its category. Must be such a good feeling to have it finished--and to be rewarded for all of that work with a winning ribbon! Well done!! : )
Congratulations Doniene! It is gorgeous!
