This is a wall hanging in the National Christmas Museum in Paradise, PA (near Lancaster in Amish country)

WOW!
I saw one like this last year of the last supper
also made by a man!
I wouldn't have the patience for the little pieces!

I'm going to steal, I mean borrow another board members words to describe this - FAN TAB U LOUS!!!! My DSIL lives near there and had sent me a pic of this! It's just amazing in person or so she says and she's NOT a quilter!

Stunning

Absolutely breathtaking!!

Old St. Nick never looked better! :D

Absolutely stunning! WOW

Someone had waaaaay to much free time to create the piece. Wow, quite the quilt!

AWESOME!

That is my sentiment exactly on this piece of work.

WOW!!!! My patience and Christmas spirit would have waned seriously by the end of the first year, never mind 4 years.
And I do counted cross stitch. What a gorgeous work of art!

Its beautiful!

I was actually just thinking about doing this last night while going through some old cross stitch stuff! hmm.

Wow! Beautiful!! :shock: :thumbup:

Spectacular. OMW I can't imagine doing this myself = WOW.

That is breathtaking! There are no words to adequately describe it. In the words of mastercard (I think): priceless!

I have often had that thought about cross stitch. Back to regular patterns.

Thank you for sharing.

for years i've wanted to turn at least one cross-stitch pattern into a pieced quilt. the thought of trying to match thread colors to fabrics scared me silly. :lol:

That is incredible!

WOW!! That quilt is very creative. Such a good idea to use counted cross stitch. I would never had thought about doing that....FANTASTIC!!!

And we thought "we" were good....WOW that is outstanding. It will be our next project after all the UFO we have going :)!! I was also in Amish country the last few days, the quilts that I seen handmade, the prices...outstanding!

Wow, how beautiful!

Yes, I actually considered some of my cross stitch patterns as potential quilts but then realized the amount of work and laughed. This guy must have all the patience (and time) in the world! Just beautiful!

All I can say is WOW!

Stunning, amazing, fantabulous and bless your heart for your patience and great work!

This is a really cool quilt

Thanks for sharing.......I can see it as a cross stitch pattern. I'm sure it takes real patience to translate that into quilting. Definitely a work of art!

OMG!!! Beautiful!

Wow, that gives me a few ideas!

It's beautiful!! I have seen that cross stitch pattern and have also seen a couple other quilts that were created from other cross stitch patterns!!
Too many tiny pieces for me!!!

WOW!!! I have a quilt I want to make using a cross-stitch pattern but it only has like 200 pieces. CAN NOT even think about 19,000 pieces.

Wow, that is amazing. I can't even begin to think of that many little squares. Thanks for sharing.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

I'll bet it took 2 of those years to find the right color fabrics! What a work of art.

Just amazing! 1" blocks are too small for me! Especially 19,000 of them! lol Glad everyone is different though so we can see these great quilts

What a mammoth effort. I hadn't thought of using cross-stitch patterns...I have a lot, but would never make anything that big. Thanks for sharing the pics.

that is so awesome

GORGEOUS!!! I can't even begin to imagine working with that many pieces! I just love this.....have always loved Santa pictures...

WOW!!!

Wow! I've thought of doing the same thing, adapting a cross stitch piece for a mosaic quilt. I've been collecting 1-inch squares for years now to make a carousel horse quilt. Now that I can see how effective it is, I think I'm going to have to bump that project up on my list. Thank you for sharing this!

Wow!

This is stunning. What a labour of love!!!

WOW!!! I can guarantee you this -- I will NEVER attempt that quilt! AMAZING! thanks for showing us!
