Yes ma'am the whole thing was hand sewn... my moms bed is a queen so I think that this is a full size quilt but I am sure it could be made to fit a queen bed... I love it. I have some of my grandmothers and great grandmothers quilt block samples here too that I am going to take pics of and show to everyone. Thanks for the comments.

I think the block is a Carpenter`s Wheel. It certainly fits the modern look. I think it's beautiful. Enjoy.
