That Crazy Amish Quilt block really is stunning!!! I love the other ones too. So now the top really is finished! Great job!! Can't wait to see the finished top!!

Spent the morning pin basting this together, and now I am ready to start what I have been itching to do since February - hand quilting. It will be a while till you see the finished product. Thanks to all for your helpful comments and suggestions![ATTACH=CONFIG]601504[/ATTACH]

OH my DonnaPea!! Handquilting!!! That's a labour of love, it will be stunning once finished.

DonnaPea......this looks amazing! Truly beautiful. Your hand quilting will be the perfect touch to this piece. You just be so proud of this....you should be. Well done!!!

DonnaPea, Your quilt is beautiful. I really like the light background, it makes your blocks stand out. A family heirloom.

You are so right Blue Bell...and did you notice the little postage stamp hanging on the wall? Could you post a picture of that little beauty, DonnaPea?

OK, I was in awe with the quilt. Missed the postage stamp wall hanging. Hope Donna will show us the rest of the quilt.

I saw that, too....I was in awe of her marble fireplace in her bedroom... Lol... I snooped beyond the quilt top in picture...lol.. Is that needlework above mantle?

Don't mind friends snooping at all! Here's the secret on the fireplace - it is actually Corian, & is portable (although very heavy). We have moved it to several houses we have lived in, & I just love it. I have an electric log set in it that we light during the winter - my kind of lazy, clean fire, no logs to drag in and no little pieces of bark all over the carpet - just flip a switch. The sampler above it is cross-stitch, which is how I spent the 1980's, until it really started to mess with my eyes and I switched to quilting. And here is the wall-hanging.

Oh thanks for humoring us, DonnaPea! Like you I quit the xstitching because of eye strain. And I love the 9P! Are the blocks 3" square..sweet wall hanging.
