It's a bit anti-climactic because I have shared so much during the making of the orange peel quilt, but it is now finished! Whoop, whoop!
It was a long time in the making because so much of it was hand stitched - the applique and then the quilting - and I am definitely a slow stitcher. But I am very happy with this finish.
I enjoyed participating in the Orange Peel SAL at the Crafty Quilter
last spring where lots of tips and inspiration were offered for the project.
You can see all the finishes from the sew along at this link.
Including the binding for the orange peels, I feel like I've spent all week sewing bindings! Last week's placemat finish, the Table Scraps Challenge runner, and finally the binding for the October heart. More about that one in my Sunday Slow Stitching post.
Meanwhile, I'm going to get back to work on the quarter star blocks for one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects!
Linking up with The Inquiring Quilter for Wednesday Wait Loss.
And at Alycia Quilts for Finished or Not Friday!

Sewing bindings means projects are getting done. Your orange peel quilt looks fabulous! Well done. Love the fabrics and colours you have picked out for your RSC quilt. Gail at the cozy quilter
The final on your orange peel quilt is just beautiful! Why did I never notice that you used cream (?) and white as background - I love it!
Just a lovely finish on your OP quilt piece--love the X quilting lines on the whites--nice stitching. Hugs from windy SE CT Julierose
The OPs are wonderful and I don't mind seeing them again. Welcome October!
Your orange peel quilt is divine! I've enjoyed seeing it progress. So beautiful. And you may be slow but your hand quilting is lovely. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2025/10/01/wednesday-wait-loss-452
it might have been slow going but it finished very nicely!!
Your orange peel looks great, Diann. I look forward to seeing the October heart...the sneak peek looks intriguing. Love the fabrics you pulled for the quarter star blocks.
I am so glad you’re having so many finishes! You’ve got a lot of very beautiful projects going on.
I admire you gals that have time to do anything you want and don't have time frames exactly so you can take your time on projects. Something I rarely get-yes I know I do it to myself, hahaha. Nice finish Diann!
Orange peel is so cute! I love the leafy orders around your little quilt.
Happy Wednesday, Diann. Your Orange Peel quilt is adorable! It has been so much fun following your progress from beginning to end. Nothing wrong with taking your time and enjoying the slow stitching. Oooh and I cannot wait to see your October Heart finish. Lots of yummy fabrics on the table for your quarter stars. Those florals are divine. Enjoy your evening. Hugs
Wahoo for the finish on your orange peel! It is gorgeous! You've made lots of progress on your handwork projects. I look forward to seeing your blocks soon!
I too, enjoyed seeing your Orange Peel quilt in all its stages. It is absolutely lovely. And I’ll be back to see your October heart.
Stunning finish and pretty photos of it too. Love all the hand quilted lines.
The orange peel quilt turned out beautifully! Congrats on the finish.
