What a beautiful quilt, in all respects. I can't believe you did all that quilting by hand. As others have said... lucky brother!!!

KarenS 06-03-2011 07:17 AM

Wow! Your quilt is amazing. So unique. I don't know how you are able to work on one quilt for 4 years - I would get bored and need to move on to a new project! Your brother is very lucky to have such a nice sister!

LOL, No way have I only worked on this! In the 4 year span I got a LA machine and have done several quilt tops for others and have about 4 other WIPS going at the same time as well as having completed another top that I sent out to a LAer before I got mine. I have more irons in the fire then an 8 armed blacksmith :lol: I try to work on this one at least a few hours each evening during TV time with DH but there have been periods where I haven't touched it for a couple of weeks in there.

Lynneander 06-03-2011 08:42 AM

One of the most spectacular quilts I've seen. Your brother must certainly hold a special place in your heart.

Beautiful !! :-D

mshawii 06-03-2011 09:50 AM

This is really beautiful. I also made one for my son and it came out stunning, like yours. Aren't you proud of yourself for making it. I consider mine a real heirloom. Love the hand quilting on it. I had to have mine machine quilted because I can't do hand work anymore.
Great Job. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: Jan

I'm going with what everyone else has said. This is definitely a work of art. Their are not enought words to describe its beauty & your workmanship.

This is a fantastic piece of art and you deserve Blue Ribbons from both shows. Your brother is very luck to have a sister like you, I hope he takes wonderful care of it. I hand quilt so I can fully appreciate the hours you have put into your quilt. :thumbup:

quiltingdoe 06-03-2011 10:34 AM

Wowzers! What a beautiful quilt! Outstanding job!

RobertaMarie 06-03-2011 10:55 AM

I echo Charismah's comments. This is fabulous. I love all quilting, but hand quilting is my favorite to do, and this is beyond the top and so special since you designed it yourself. Lots of love put into this project, and that is what quilting is all about to me.

TootieAnn 06-03-2011 10:59 AM

That is gorgeous! Very fine piecing and quilting. Beautiful job! Thanks for sharing with us!

boohoofish 06-03-2011 11:33 AM

A truly gorgeous quilt but the quilting designs and execution are out of this world. So much thought and work went into this quilt it is a MASTERPIECE and should win many many ribbons. Thanks for sharing and inspiring the rest of us to stick with the hand quilting in hopes we can achieve such success some day. Thanks again - Carol
