"Quick and easy" - 1998-2016! those tiny blocks would have driven me bonkers! You did a spectacular job! It is a saga only you can appreciate (and other quilters)....sweet dreams under your quilt

What a labour of love and determination to finish your beautiful quilt. The best scrappy I have ever seen.

What love went into this heirloom. Beautiful work of art. Congratulations
for finishing .

That is a beautiful quilt.!

Wow! I really love this. I've been thinking about making a quilt similar to this out of charm squares but it would probably be much smaller than king size.

I love love love it! Not only the bright color of the 9-patchest and the beautiful appliquéd border, but especially the subtle hourglass blocks that seem to add real dimension. Great job!

Absolutely stunning...and what a wonderful feeling to have it finished so you can finally enjoy it. Thank you for sharing.

Wqw, that is so lovely!

Your quilt is amazing.

Love your story and the gorgeous quilt!

Absolutely gorgeous!

So beautiful. Congratulations on sticking to it!

This is my kind of quilt. I don't care for all the little triangles in a quilt, way too busy, but this is a perfect quilt to me. You did a lovely job making it and I love the applique in the borders.

Stunning! You've made a masterpiece!

Absolutely gorgeous. Just love pieced with applique, and small pieces:):)

What a wonderful quilt!! Good that you got it just the way you want it! I had to sign in today, just to tell you "It's so wonderful!"

What a gorgeous quilt. Glad you persisted and finished this beauty. Love your choice of neutrals that give it interest but don't take away from the 9 patches.

What an amazing journey you have had...and such a beautiful quilt to treasure. I'm so impressed!

It's gorgeous and worth all the work you put into it!

Oh, such a beautiful quilt!

Beautiful quilt.

Beautiful quilt. It certainly is a treasure.

Totally gorgeous, everything about it.

Beautiful. BrendaK

It is a real beauty. Thank you for the story of its creation. So glad that you stuck with it all those years.

I love the subtle cream print. Hard to know how much of that to buy when you are starting a scrap quilt. Of course, the other fabric amounts don't matter. It sure is a beauty.

Oh, this is so beautiful! I have the same book (love it) and have the hour glass and nine patches all done. I have been procrastinating on the applique border for 17 years. After seeing your lovely quilt, I must get going! I too had to buy more scraps to get the look. This has started a 17-year obsession with collecting remnants and scraps. Bonnie Hunter has been an answer to my prayers!

Beautiful quilt and I loved the story behind making your quilt.

Great eye for color! Beautiful quilt!

Wow! It is a beauty! It certainly as worth the wait.

What a labor of love. Your quilt is totally awesome. I don't think I would have had the patience to piece 3 1/2" blocks. Kudos to you.

A lovely adventure with this quilt. A beautiful success. Love the simple pattern and your border applique is awesome.
For sure, this is a loved quilt.
peace

Great quilt! I love that pattern too!

Gorgeous. So colorful and happy looking. You did a fabulous job on piecing and quilting.

Absolutely gorgeous! A LOT of work there. You did a beautiful job piecing and the quilting is wonderful. Really makes the whole thing even more beautiful. I like the subtle color of the hourglass blocks. Adds interest without taking away from the colorful 9 patch. Amazing border.

Just wanted to pop in and tell each and every one of you Thank You for all the wonderful comments on my quilt. Wish I had the time to email each of you separately.

Splendid, great job!

Wow!! That is amazing! I love it! <3<3

Gorgeous quilt!

Very pretty quilt, and I love how you had the binding on and said no that is not right and did it again.
