WOW!!! It's beautiful!!!
I would never had made it to the end!!!

Wow!! would love that one on my bed. It is beautiful!

really really gorgeous and the colors you used are so sweet!!! :thumbup:

Gorgeous! I can see why it took so long! It's OK to put a quilt away for awhile and let it "cure." Then when you go back to it, it seems fresh and you can get excited about it all over again!

That is so cool great job

Humbird - my hexagons are about 1 1/2 inch on each side.

I have a smaller one I use on Baby quilts - that is less than an inch I think?

Thank you. If yours are about 1 1/2, I would say it sure does NOT look clunky! I will have to try that size soon. Thanks again. Phyllis

Wow! It's wonderful! My hat's off to you!!! All that had stitching. Way to go!

Oh my - that's breathtaking!

That is just beautiful. I love the colors and the pattern. Who cares if it took years to make. It was worth the wait. You did a wonderful job.

[quote=PurpleBecca]I started this quilt when I was 19!! Finished it when I was 35!!
Its completely hand pieced over paper and hand quilted!

Your quilt is simply lovely. I admire your tenacity doing another.
I like English paper-piecing, find it more relaxing than any other hand piecing.
I began a Grandmother's Flower Garden baby quilt for my first grandson using fabric from all his family, including greatgrands. It's not yet finished and he's graduating HS in June.

Wow! You quilt is lovely.

Very pretty. Love the colors. I agee about EPP being relaxing. Unbelieveable how many hexagons you can stitch when in a vehicle travelling or watching TV.

I haven't done one, but yours inspires me.
Great job!

ASTONISHING!!! That is one beautiful quilt.

Gorgeous! :thumbup:

WOW,BEAUTIFUL

Absolutely gorgeous! That's a lot of hexies! Great job!

I read through all the wonderful comments about a truly remarkable quilt. But what caught my eye was something else in the photo. Do anyone know what they are? sitting on top of the chimneys?

Only certain places in the US will you find the European style Chimney Pots! Remember Mary Poppins and Bert cavorting over the roof tops in the movie. Those chimney decorations are alive and well in U.S. on building that were built at the turn of the century by those who came from countries where these were used.

Sorry to detract from the quilt, but I just had to comment on the pots as they are something of a long time interest of mine as an antique collector. (I have sent Becca a PM and hope to get more photos from her.) Is anyone else familiar with these?

June in Cincinnati where there are loads of Chimney Pots!!!

Oh, I love your quilt! I have one in progress too but have been stalled for about a year. Have to get that out, now.
Thanks for sharing,
lots2do

The mere fact that you started this when you were 18-19 years old says that you had a lot of determination to meet goals even at that age. I admire that you stuck with this to the end. What a beautiful quilt you have to show for your time, perseverence and work.

Very pretty!

Beautiful!!!
