This is the finished quilt that took nine months. Being new to embroidery I jumped into this huge project...was sick at looking at it and doing all the embroidery work. However it was a great learning curve for me even though several times I would give up... the next day I would go back to it. Had to redo seven block from mistakes...there are still some in the quilt but I could not make myself redo another one. Not sure where I am going to get it quilted or how I want it. It is a king and thinking I may use it as a duvet...not sure.
Thanks for letting me share my quilt with you.

Lovely, that's a lot of work. Is it all hand embroidery?

I stand back in amazement and awe....wow!!

Please can you take some close ups of all your wonderful embroidery, I would (and I am sure plenty of others!) would love to see the detail.

Well done :thumbup:
