Love that quilt.

twinkie 10-12-2013 04:27 AM

There are always little ripples in a quilt top with so many seams. I am sure it is made to perfection. OCD is a real advantage at times. Love it.

bibi 10-12-2013 05:04 AM

Amazing!!!!

BizzieLizzie 10-12-2013 05:13 AM

I love it!! Looks really nice! :)

Fabulous. Just fabulous. He must have spent just hours and hours. This is just a great way of sitting down and getting the sewing "fix" when you don't have a particular project in mind.

I love it nice work

duckydo 10-12-2013 05:31 AM

Mercy, you have lots of patience.. My aunt made about 6 of these all hand stitched. IMHO any all over pattern would work.

mighty 10-12-2013 06:42 AM

Holly Molly that is a lot of pieces!!! He really does great work!! Love to see it after quilting!

Mariposa 10-12-2013 06:49 AM

Another great top by your hubby! Love the PS squares! :) How many pieces-?? Perhaps an open, curvy panto and use a variegated thread....

mattie washington 10-12-2013 07:24 AM

I probably will never even attempt to make this quilt too many seams. Good job I just the thought of all those seams makes me nervous

MargeD 10-12-2013 07:40 AM

WOW - he has far more patience than I do making quilts with all those small squares. Very pretty.

quilter824 10-12-2013 08:12 AM

I love it and hats off to him for having the patience to do that.

Brenda M 10-12-2013 08:22 AM

Well done!!!!!!!!! He sure has some amazing patience!!!

IBQUILTIN 10-12-2013 09:47 AM

Wow and Wow again. That is one wild man you have there. I would be totally bonkers after trying to even do a small one like that

Cookie46 10-12-2013 04:04 PM

Your husband's quilt is awesome.

cat-on-a-mac 10-12-2013 05:45 PM

That's just crazy cool :thumbup: I hope he has his own machine, so you can get LOTS done on yours while he's putting things like this together?!

debcavan 10-12-2013 06:46 PM

Wow, I cannot imagine doing anything like that.

crcindy 10-12-2013 07:25 PM

Wow- so many pieces! Congrats to your DH for doing this!!

craftyheart2 10-13-2013 12:00 AM

I think a panto (especially something curvy) would be great for this. Well done on him for having the patience to stick with it.

JanieH 10-13-2013 02:42 AM

WOW! That is fantastic!

It is definitely on my list - I save all my small scraps for one.

klgls 10-13-2013 04:34 AM

Awesome quilt - love the popcorn idea!

Wanabee Quiltin 10-13-2013 05:51 AM

DH and I say WOW !

oh my goodness...yes, patience of Job must be his blessing

Conartist1945 10-13-2013 06:39 AM

Fabulous! My favorite kind of quilt

pattymason 10-13-2013 06:40 AM

How many pieces are in this, do you know?

marla 10-13-2013 06:55 AM

This is great! And I can tell he is at home with the sewing machine.

The pic probably is wonky if it was laid ontop of a ccomforter.

I'm proud of his accomplishments. I'm wondering how I'm going to quilt this one. Maybe with a large popcorn pantograph? What do you think?


BuzzinBumble 10-13-2013 10:31 AM

That is gorgeous! However you choose to quilt it i am sure you will do it justice!

Quilter Day-by-Day 10-13-2013 04:12 PM

This gives me encouragement to get backed started on mine cause that's what mine is 1.5" squares. He did a fantastic job, and yes post a picture of when it's quilted.

callen 10-13-2013 04:14 PM

Wow, that would take way too much patience for me to do. What an amazing job!!

solstice3 10-13-2013 04:24 PM

What a man /quilt!

Judith1005 10-13-2013 04:37 PM

Oh my word, it's a bit dizzying. But, it would keep me coming back over and over to see all the different fabrics. Dear hubby gets a huge pat on the back for this masterpiece. Look forward to see what you decide about for the quilting. (Not experienced enough to add an opinion about that.)

Amazing and beautiful--- and for me---lots of foul language!

me too. He has way more patience than I do. I started one once upon a time. It is in my closet in a shoe box. It will probably stay there too. He has made at least 4 of these. Now, I just have to quilt them.

raspberryparade09 10-15-2013 04:57 PM

Wow! Wow! Wow!

krissr 10-19-2013 06:08 PM

OH MY GOSH What a patient man

Lori S 10-19-2013 06:52 PM

Impressive work! What a great postage stamp quilt. He sure beats my patience!

josie bass 10-19-2013 07:04 PM

I think it is beautiful I couldn't do that if I wanted too. He has the patience of Jobe . Know matter how you quilt it it will be beautiful.

Peggy Jeanne 10-21-2013 07:32 PM

I can not imagine doing one of these. Amazing!

terri bb 10-24-2013 08:32 PM

Wow you got alot of comments on this :) May i say to the man of the casa he did an outstanding job and that is 7,138 times more patience than i have to put all those bitty pieces together but now i will have to send him some just cuz <3 after reading all the replies, i think i like the thought of the clamshell for quilting. you say you have 4 of them; so do one clamshell, one popcorn, etc. baptist fan might be a bit too tight to be cozy. it sure is pretty and one of these days i hope to see his quilts in person. the only other fella who has him beat is the gentleman who used his as therapy for his stroke? i think? and he sewed them all on a treadle. kudos to the hubby! he has won my vote.
