I don't know if others would call these stunning, however, these are the most time consumming quilts I have made. The first one was for my daughter, Celeste

The 2nd was for my GD Chrystal

The picture was taken before the binding was done.

The first one was an applique and took about 50 hours.

The second one has approximately 3,000 pieces as each square is about 4" x 4" and there are almost 600 squares. The most difficult part of the second quilt was the placement of the squares. This one took about 75 hours and was completed about 1 month before my accident that took me out of quilting for about 6 months. Both were labors of love.
