I really enjoyed looking at your quilt. Did you hand piece that also? Just breath taking

It is paper pieced and when I first started the pattern it looked so complex I did hand sew the paper pieces to get the feel for it. I think I did about 7 blocks this way out of the 28 centre blocks. I hand quilted the centre but on the outside edge I have machine stitched applique designs.

Beautiful quilt. It would take me a lot longer to hand quilt.

I had a time schedule it had to be done by October for our quilt show so that spurred me on. Thank you for your lovely comments.

Thanks Grandmadonna, but this show is not a professional one its just our show of work for the year that our Club has done.

WOW hard to believe this is only your 6th quilt !!!! Great job !!!
I have the same pattern but it's only about 1/4 done. You have given me a reason to get it back out .

Keep at it, its so worth it. I have been sewing since I was small, my mother always made my clothes and I watched her sew. However never quilted till I came to Spain and have belonged to a Group here called the Vinuela Sew & Sews, I will give you a link and you can see our work. I find quilting challenging and with so many different tecniques it keeps me going. I also love applique.

Here is the link and you can see pictures of us all just click on the pictures and see our work

glad you enjoyed your visit to the Group, we have more ladies now since that was put up, and so many with different talents, whodo lace making, crochet, knitting, cross stitch and so much more than just patchwork, so we are very diverse. The web page is updated regularly so visit again.
