Absolutely stunning! You did a marvelous job with some very tricky cutting and sewing. I bought Geta's book and was thinking about trying one snowflake... what you have done is an awesome inspiration!

That is beautiful! So soft looking! I want to curl up under it, and put it on the wall!

Thanks for the compliment

You wouldn't want to curl up under it though- it is extremely stiff due to all the quilting. It hangs nicely one the wall though!

This really is too beautiful to use! I don't normally like quilts hanging on walls, but I'd make an exception for this gorgeous thing. What a work of art! You are very talented and hardworking!

SPECTACULAR does not do this quilt justice. I am so jealous! Wish I had the talent to quilt like this....It is truly wonderful.

It only takes practice. My last square is better than my first for sure. I had only started quilting about a year before doing this- and certainly not full time (I only quilt on the weekend). I just decided I was going to sit down and really practice and try to get good at it.
