Hand pieced except for sashing and borders. It took me about four years working on it between other projects. It was quilted by a local quilt shop. I would love to have hand quilted it but at 73 I just wanted to see it finished and on my bed. I am very happy with.

Fabulous job! And all hand pieced; I bow to your perseverance! What an achievement and it is beautiful. I have longarmed two of these and I know how much work is involved with all those intricate little pieces and a few at some wild angles. FWS is on my bucket list but I will be machine piecing mine! Enjoy this wonderful quilt.

It was my retirement project. It took about four years. It went on a cross country RV trip and many other camping trips with me. It was fun to do that way and I always had something to do even when we were camping in a National park with no electricity. I even took it to Disneyworld. Worked on it while my husband was sleeping in.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Don't you think that if the farmer's wife had had machine quilting available she would have sent her out to be quilted???

barny 09-30-2015 01:53 PM

Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous. Words can't describe it.

dunster 09-30-2015 01:54 PM

That is a work of art. Beautiful colors, and so much labor to make so many different blocks.
