Applause, applause for you and that magnificent quilt. A stained glass quilt is on my "Roundtoit" List - a few projects I need to finish before that though - quilt by DGD's quilt, make quilt for DS and DDIL, make quilt for DH, make Bow Tucks bags, as well as table runners and wall hangings for craft fair in Nov., etc., etc. I think I need to sit down, oh yes, there is also a Boston Commons quilt for me. Maybe if I clone myself. LOL.

That is drop dead gorgeous. I have finally gotten a pattern to do one, but it says that I need a double needle to sew down the leading. May I ask if that is how you attached your leading? I have never used a double needle, and that is really scaring me off right now.
I used the ready-made fusible Clover bias tape. Didn't use a double-needle although that may have been easier? Don't know. I just used my topstitch needle and my edge stitching foot and followed the edge of the tape (after fusing it) to stitch it down on each side really close. Yes, it took some time! The pattern has you do it all at the end of piecing the whole top but I did it in sections- seemed it would be easier to me and I followed the seam line for fusing it down. Hope this makes sense to you all lol.

lovely! i have a friend who does stained glass, and she made panels very similar to these for installation in a doc's home--they were based on lotus blossoms. she would love something like this, i'll bet. hmm....time to start looking for patterns!
