wow!!!

:thumbup: :-) WOW!!! Awesome quilt & I can see why it took so long to complete it! Well worth the effort!

I followed Karen's instructions and picked two colorways as she suggested. Black, brown and grey in both light and dark and red, organge and yellow ....I used as many different fabrics as I could find in my stash.

Gorgeous. It looks labor intensive but well worth the effort.

It is quilted already. I was going to do a spiky effect but changed my mind. I do free hand, long arm quilting so I just did an all over design that was not too conspicious, sort of plain as the quilt does a lot of talking lol.

Thank you so much ladies for all your lovely complitments. I am very proud of this quilt. Here's my story. I have been a professional seamstress all my life, there is nothing that I canot sew (well so I think) I love challenges, the harder the better. Well, a friend told me about quilting about 10 years ago and I went with her to a class and was so impressed with the way quilting had changed. I could never deal with little scaps of fabric lol...I learned how to use the rulers etc. I was hooked. I made seventeen quilts within two years. I have some listed on my blogs. I am now looking at the "Colorful Quilt" by
Jacqueline de Jonge.

Oh my goodness!!!! I absolutely love this quit!! Fantastic job!! :thumbup:

I love it!!!! Your black border just popped your quilt. I always wanted to make one, but to labor in tensed. But I'm going to so it one day.

Beautiful!!

I LOVE it!! Nice job! :)

Such an awesome design. You must have been so glad to complete this and so proud of all your hard work.

Thanks so much for sharing.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! What a wonderful accomplishment.
When I first saw it, my reaction was WOW!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome! It came out beautiful.

Wow! Yes I'd say that was pretty labor intensive. Good for you for sticking to it and finishing it because it is a beauty!

Not only did you do a fantastic job, but your perseverance is awesome.

Oh..I took a closer look and I just can't see the quilting in the pic..which is the effect you wanted I guess. I sure agree with you about the quilt doing the talking...it does...and it speaks beautifully! I looked at the Colorful Quilt and all I can say is..wow...I wanna be able to do what you do when I grow up!

:D

Oh my, very nice.

wow wow

It is stunning and a work of art. Please enter it in any show you can . It will win something. I am more of an observer then a doer. It is a struggle for me but I keep trying even though I ususally say "I Quit" on every project. So let all your effort show.

What is IOP? That is one fantastic quilt! I want to try paper piecing but think I will try a potholder!

Stunning

Oh, how very lovely. Lots of love went into that quilt. Just by incident, I'm sure. You look just like a person I used to know who lived in my town, got married and moved to Florida. That quilt is just the thing she would do. Love it! God Bless!

AMAZING! Worth every minute of that two years.

It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

beautiful quilt rosy. Looks like it was hard to do. I think my eyes would cross if I tried that! marilyn, kirksmom

It my short for Indian Orange Peel lol. It really wasn't hard to do. It just paper piecing and if you got a handle on that, you can do it. It's just a lot of work is all...

Wow, there is a lot of work there, but it's beautiful.

Thats just gorgeous. Well done. I am jealous.

Wow, that quilt is very unique, great work.

Rosyhf, I hope you put this quilt in a quilt show as you would win blue ribbons!

Oh Boy! That took a lot of planning....:). It is simply gorgeous!!!
