Just keep quilting, just keep quilting...

My 11 year old daughter said she wanted a heavily quilted quilt - well she is getting it, but not until she is getting married! I've completed hand quilting 61 blocks (out of 99 total blocks), 2/3 of the inner border, and 2/3 of the outer border. It is taking forever but I am not starting another project until this one is done. Just wanted to share the partially complete quilt. It is a snowball/9 square pattern. The backing is sage green. The entire double sized quilt is glue basted.

nicely done

Oh my gosh - you are doing that by hand?? I hope your daughter sees how much you love her to do this. It's beautiful but looks like so much work.
|
You go, ma'am. That would take me until she was a grandmother and possibly a great grandmother. A hand quilter told me the other day that she doesn't like quilting through the spray basting. Do you find a lot of pull or drag on the needle?
|
She will treasure it. It is beautiful.
|
Very pretty. Good for you to do this.
|
Wow. That's breathtaking. Definitely a labour of love.

That will be treasured - such attention to detail! Bravo!

I use Elmer's washable school glue and dry heat set it. There is no drag or anything. Sometimes I have to go through a little thickness of glue, but it isn't as bad as going through seams. I stab stick so that makes a difference for me. |

Oh my, that is one beautiful quilt. The quilting is just superb! I love to hand quilt, but I'm working on my sewing machines now. too much for an old lady. LOL.. I just wonder how long you have been quilting this? It is so fun to sit and look at your perfect quilting.
|
Bless you! No way could I do all of that by hand. You are amazing.

Very nicely done making her such a beautiful quilt especially quilting it by hand but I hope her future husband will want to sleep in a double bed! :)
|
It is beautiful. Wow, what an accomplishment! It will be an heirloom for sure.

OMG!!! That is stunning. Your quilting is just gorgeous. I can only dream of coming close to it. Thanks for showing it.

Your quilt and hand quilting are absolutely beautiful! This is a true treasure!
|
This is just lovely Mom. What a true keepsake you are giving her!
|
Wow - so beautifully hand-stitched! A true labor of love!
|
Wow! That is heavily (and beautifully) quilted alright. Lucky daughter.
|
Keep quilting lol
|
What absolutely beautiful hand quilting! What a treasure for your daughter! A true heirloom!
|
Fabulous work! A true labor of love. Your daughter is blessed to have such a thoughtful and talented mother. Keep on quilting!
|
Priceless. Beautiful. BrendaK
|
absolutely stunning... you obviously are dedicated to it. I don't think I would have the patience and I definitely wouldn't have the time... kudos to you.
|
Amazing. I am in awe.
|
What a wonderful work of love! Beautifully done. I can appreciate your commitment to finish the quilt. It will be a real treasure for sure. I was happy to see your comments about Elmer's glue on a piece that is being hand quilted. I use that method for machine work and really like it but I did wonder about hand quilting with it. Now, I know.
|
Oh, my, so beautiful...
|
Your quilt is just beautiful. Definitely something she will cherish.
|
WOW that is beautiful. I'm afraid to try glue basting. What if I try to move it and it's just stuck there? However, what a wonderful job you did for your daughter.
|
So much love!
