Here are some pictures of my "personal masterpiece" quilt called Amber. The size is 78 x 78 " and it is hand quilted. To finish it I needed about 1000 hours and 2000 meters of hand quilting thread.
The quilt found it's place at a wall in our house and I love to touch the fine structures!

There's nothing left to say except outstanding work! I'm afraid I'd just find a seat to sit & admire. Nothing else would get done.

Hi Kat,
I finished the quilt in 2000, so it is 10 years old now - too old for entering in show! Normally they only accept quilts of the last 3 or 4 years.

Lacelady 10-18-2010 01:57 AM

Amber is stunning - a true labour of love. Is it your design too? I love the background design, such a nice change from a plain grid.

SueDor 10-18-2010 02:11 AM

All I can say is WOW!!!!!

twinkie 10-18-2010 02:14 AM

Our quilt show has many catagories. Being new is not always a requirement. You might check on some of the shows. It is so gorgeous, it needs to win a ribbon.

I saw a picture of a quilt with a similar design in a book several years ago and I changed it a little. The patters are very traditional, often used in Welsh Wholecloths. And because the main patterns like the central medaillon is of a graphic style I could combine the "teacup"- background with it.

Beautiful!! I would love seeing it in person, it is amazing to think you did all that by hand.

Kitsapquilter 10-18-2010 03:51 AM

OMG, Amber is beautiful. I will never have the patience to do something like that. I might get a very small wall hanging hand quilted someday or a table runner. I do want to try hand quilting though. Seems like it would be so relaxing.

happynana 10-18-2010 04:05 AM
