This is Part 11 of a series which describes the making of a recently completed custom art quilt "Marley's Christmas". Part 1 - Description of the vision
Part 2 - Preparation of the background
Part 3 - Winter scene in the window
Part 4 - Three-dimensional blue rug
Part 5 - Curtains and fur tree
Part 6 - Blue arm chair

After sending a photo of the artwork to the customer and getting approval, I completed the final stages of art quilt: quilting, finishing the backing, the binding, and loops for hanging. The quilt is signed in thread on the back.
This is the image of the completed quilt.
I hope you enjoyed watching the work take its final shape.
I am always happy to do custom works, if you are interested you can find more information in my quilt gallery.

Something goofy is going on in Blogspot. Your blog isn't opening right for me. Thought I'd mention it in case other folks are having trouble too.
She looks like she's coming right through that rainbow! Thanks for this series - a very nice tribute to Marley and Darla - I have enjoyed it - it's interesting to see how these pretty things come together over time, and all the creative work that goes into them. :)
The final result is amazingly beautiful.
Even the bones under the tree are so clearly visible.
Thanks for sharing the whole process of the work.
