Cot Quilt
 

Here are two pictures of a cot quilt I finished in February. The size is 83,5 x 101 cm (33 x 40 inches), it's hand quilted and I used a Tuscany Poly Batting and YLI Handquilting Thread.
I'm very happy to say that the quilt won two awards at the Great Northern Quilt Show in Harrogate, UK recently, the 1st price in the Cot Quilt category and the Hand Quilting Award.

Fabulous job. A beautiful whole cloth. You certainly were born to hand quilt!

peace

Drop dead gorgeous!! Your work never ceases to AMAZE me!!

Outstanding!

Oh my, this is so beautiful. Did you mark the fabric yourself?

Yes, I did. The quilting pattern is derived from the design of a diamond tiara owned by the British Royal Family. I found a picture of it in the internet and made some cardboard templates. The patterns are marked out with the darning needle, my favourite marking method.

Oh, my goodness!!! That's GORGEOUS!!!

That is fantastically beautiful. The love and care that went into it is amazing. Congratulations on your wins. I envy your patience and skill to make a whole cloth quilt by hand. It is truly an heirloom to be passed on for generations.

Your quilt would win everything I could think of. Just BEAUTIFUL AND PERFECT.

Fantastic work!

I'm speechless just looking at this!!! What an amazing cot quilt!

You do such outstanding work, the quilt is so beautiful.

Wow ! I don't know how you did that but it is Georgeous ! Wish I could hand quilt like that. Since I am just learning I would love to know did you use a stencil to draw that then quilted it ? Beautiful work.

Beautiful work!

Beautiful! When I see something like this I feel like packing it all in because I could never achieve this perfection.

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous! The quilting is spectacular! I can't imagine how long this must have taken you. Excellent job!

Absolutely the best I've seen! How long did it take you to make it?

Oh my! Museum piece!

Oh my! What a stunning quilt!

I used selfmade cardboard templates. Sometimes I also use stencils, but not for the cot quilt here.

Thank you! I needed about 7 or 8 weeks to finish it (6 to 8 hours per day).

gorgeous you did great work!!!

Wow! Hand quilted!! That is amazing! It is simply gorgeous.

I agree whole heartedly. Fantastic work and it will become an heirloom for sure.
