Default Fairy quilt

[ATTACH=CONFIG]608974[/ATTACH]
This was my big project last year. This quilt has 5600 1.5 inch squares in it. I hand beaded wings onto her back, and she is blowing bubbles that I hot fixed Swarovski crystals to. It's a queen size. I won a best of show ribbon with it at our local county Fair. I have close up photos of the wings and bubbles, but I'm getting an error when I tried to upload them. I really enjoyed making this quilt and the challenge.

Amazing! Congrats on your Best in Show. You might have to resize the pictures you can't upload. The file may be too big.

Your quilt is a remarkable feat of piecing, to say the least. Congratulations on winning the best of show ribbon. You deserve it.

Stunning quilt! It's amazing how a whole bunch of little 1 1/2" squares can make such art! Beautiful job and I hope you are able to upload the 'up close' images as I'd love to see the details you've explained.

Congrats on a fabulous finish! And the Best in Show!
