Thanks for sharing your other quilts!!! Your work is jaw-dropping. I love applique and I know how much time it takes to hand sew all those pieces. I worked hard on a hand applique quilt and it took me seven months to complete, well, I've decided the boarder needs some more work, so it's really not done. And, it's a lot smaller than yours! Your ten years was certainly reasonable for this beautiful work of art. What are you doing next???
