It's amazing how many hours we put in a quilt. I can't wait to see this one.

For one of my quilts I needed about 1000 hours to finish it. 2000 meters of handquilting thread are used in it. I must admit it was a hard way to go through - but after finishing the quilt I was soooo proud.

I have only made two other quilts in my life that took this long. One for my parents anniversary and one for my sister.

Hopefully this ones for you !! :D :oops:

Im a sprinter not a marathoner so this one is killing me.

I bought this boxed pattern also but have not started it yet (I'm still working on Japanese Fans and Dear Jane). Are you going through tons of fabric or using the Bali Pops? I have heard different people comment that they are not perfectly cut and have had to improvise. What color combinations are you doing yours in? Can't wait to see pics! I know with all the time spent it will be priceless. Hugs

I would love to see a picture of where you are, your color-way, and progress!
