Thank you all so much for your kind words! Each time I have posted a px, you have all been so kind with your pats on the back! You encourage me to keep right on stitching!
Tricia, I have had this done several years. I did this on my own, no BOM. (BTW, I grew up in Erath County, North Central TX!) At the time, there was not as much CW Repos available as we have now. (I would probably do things a tad differently if I were doing this now.) For the most part, it does have CW Repos used. I did substitute Thimbleberries on some & on some, I used a few that just looked like they "should" be CW Repos! :mrgreen: I learned more on this quilt than I have learned since 1993 when I began quilting. It is not all that hard after the first few...you learn as you go... it is time consuming though. I would work on a few rows & then do other things. But it IS addictive! You always wonder what the next block brings. (I did mine in rows & in order.) I am hand quilting(only kind I know how to do!) so I will be awhile. It is both a pleasure & a challange to hand quilt these blocks. OH MY! I have rambled long enough to write a book--- so sorry! Thanks again!!!! Riley |
Thanks Tricia. Your quilts are great too! :) Wow Riley!! All i can say is wow!!! :)

I am soooooo impressed.. You did an amazing job picking fabric. I want to do one with bright colors because I always see it in repos. I have a hard time getting into the muddier brown colors. I can not believe you are hand quilting.... you go girl :thumbup: |

My most numerous pieces quilt was 1320 for a lap size. I made it for my dil's mom on her 50th birthday.
Barb, Tricia, and Riley...your quilts are beautiful!!! Carol's 50th birthday quilt [ATTACH=CONFIG]12409[/ATTACH] |
I think whatever you do this quilt in, Tricia, it will be a wonderful thing of beauty!
I am handquilting because that is all I know how to do. Would you also faint if I told you I hand pieced the Jane Stickle Quilt? :mrgreen: That is my preferred method & almost everything I do is handpieced. (My DH is disabled & I can sit there & hand piece & quilt without running back & forth to check on him---so it is easier for me to do it that way!) YOUR quilt is also a beauty, BJ!!! WOW, lots of talented people here! Thanks again!!! Riley |
I just knew eveyone would post their beautiful quilts if I asked.
BJ I love the quilt and bought the book recently. Just gathering fabric for it. The fabric is soooo important in this quilt. Yours is fantastic!! |

Riley WOW all I can say is WOW!!! what an amazing quilt!!! What an accomplishment!!! As for me I think mine would be 2,000 in my Y2K quilt. I don't have a photo of it right now as it is packed away in storage until I move into my home. I will take one once I move and unpack the little darling!! :) |
Oh wow bj! I've never seen a pattern like that, absolutely beautiful!!! :)
