this quilt is felted wool applique on a black double-sided cotton flannel. I spent 2 years appliquing the blocks during breaks working a night shift.

Beautiful!

That is one beautiful quilt. The color combination is striking. I am amazed at your applique skill.

it is machine quilted, and machine pieced, only the wool applique is hand work, i button-hole stitched (most) of the pieces, stem stitched where i thought i needed to. this was my first adventure into wool hand work outside of rug hooking...I LOVE WORKING WITH WOOL! :D
i do not use fusable on my wool, tried it once, did not like the result. I use freezer paper to cut out my shapes, then as each piece is placed to be stitched i use a small straight pin or just hold it. the first block took awhile but after that block it really went pretty fast when i worked on it, i could get a lot done in a 15 minute sitting. I used the same black flannel on the back and a black cotton batt, black thread.
i am entering it in the quilt show this year (our local guild hosts one every other year and this is the year) i put it in the fair last summer (finished it just in time) and it won a blue ribbon plus the viewer's choice award, i was really surprised!

Stunning for sure!.....:-)

Simply stunning! I too would love to see some close up pics!! It is inspiring me to do something like that!!

Just beautiful! I can see why it won some prizes!

It's gorgeous. Great job.

Bet this one could win a ribbon at a quilt show.
It's beautiful~!

I am not surprised at all that this took a blue ribbon! It's STUNNING!!

This truly took my breath away when I saw it.

that is gorgeous

Absolutely beautiful. For sure a family heirloom!

Your quilt IS breathtaking!!! I have worked with wool too and love it. But I have NEVER even thought to undertake a task as big as this!! Do you applique onto individual blocks and then sew them together? Is this an original pattern? Would you consider showing us some close up pics?

I can certainly see why you won an award--- and it would have been THIS viewer's choice, that is for sure!!

Amazing quilt! I would love to see a close up also.

beautiful.... :lol:

WOW love all of the applique work :D :D :D

Wow!!!!! That is beautiful.

My jaw dropped when I saw your quilt---to say it is beautiful is just not enough----I am at a loss for words

(but if you get tired of it, I would welcome it at my house---lol)

OMG, that truly is a work of art. Very award-worthy. Just beautiful!
