I posted this when I first started but couldn't find the post, but here it is; it's a paper pieced Judy Niemeyer pattern.

Thanks everyone, the wall hanging in the pattern was square but I wanted just the middle part. I had a local quilter(who's very good at what she does) do the quilting because I'm not that experienced. She said because of all the seams on paper-pieced objects they are more challenging. The extra thickness causes the needle to jump. I'm not real happy with the color she chose to quilt with but it looks good on the front but not as good on the back. She tried a couple of colors before she settled on gray. I was thinking a varigrated thread would have been pretty with the backing being black. It will be on the wall so the back won't be showing.

Spectacular....beautiful job!

watterstide 10-25-2009 02:15 PM

it will be awesome hanging on a wall! i don't do paper piecing, because it frustrates me...applaud you!

I did a lap quilt, that was supposed to be square also and i left it octagon.

Wow!!!! That is awsome.

harrishwhippets 10-26-2009 04:18 AM

Need to enter it into a quilt show, this must win a blue ribbon. How long did it take you to make this?

user3587 10-26-2009 04:26 AM


Is this crown of thorns?
Thanks Gale
Yes, I left off the squared blocks.


How long did it take you to make this?
I started it I think the middle of 2007 It took be about 9 mos working weekends and sometimes an hour or two during the week. The quilting is what took so long. To make this short, I had a lady at the LQS where I purchased the fabric to quilt it. She was one of those I learned that had good intentions but never followed through. Her partner made her sell her part of the store because of this. She took my quilt to her house and was going to quilt it there. I didn't know this for about 3 wks. After 6 mos of it being at her house I went and got it and took it to the LQS in my town (where I purchased the pattern). She had it about a month, because of her backlog.

WOW! WOW! WOW! Gorgeous!

mytwopals 10-26-2009 10:13 AM

Fantastic. Nice job. And the color combination is wonderful. :D :D

quiltease 10-26-2009 12:22 PM

That is absolutely amazing! If you are using it as a wall hanging, where did you put the hanging sleeve? Yeah, I know, on the back. What I mean is how far down from the top? Or are you going to use clips?
Was it a pattern you'd recommend to others? I'd love to give it a try!!!!
bev. :]

Jeannie 10-26-2009 01:24 PM

schwanton 10-26-2009 03:26 PM

Amazing job! How long did it take you to complete this?

OHSue 10-26-2009 07:10 PM

Wow, that is incredible. The blocks are gorgeous enough, but all that curved binding is beyond belief! What a work of art, you should be soooo proud of yourself.
