I finally have pictures of my quilt

this is a applicade silk quilt with embrodery. Hope the colors come threw.

it is gorgeous! :) How long did this take to create?

I have been working on it since April. 6 months. Now I have to get it quilted. Any idea how much it costs to get it quilted???

I've never sent anything out to be quilted, so can't help with that question...but I just had to say WOW. It's breathtaking. Love love love it.

This is Gorgeous!! I love it! The colors are so unique for an applique and would go with almost any decor.

I suppose the quilting would depend on who you bring it to and how fancy the quilting is. I would not go cheap with this quilt- it's so pretty!

Wow! That is very pretty! :)

Your quilt is absolutely wonderful. So delicate!

That is a really beautiful quilt. I love the color scheme. Please show us pics when it's quilted, it's going to be stunning.

Stunning! Absolutely Stunning. Please post once it's quilted. I have not idea about cost.

That is beautiful. The colors came through in the overall shot, not so much in the closeup. Did you try to enlarge the closeup? Could you take a zoom photo of a block or two?

It is spectacular. I would be afraid to quilt it. I have never worked with silk on that scale. What ever you have to pay it would be worth it if they know how to handle silk.

Lovely!!

That is one beautiful quilt!! I love it!

Oh my goodness...that is an absolutely breathtaking quilt. I love Jenny Haskins patterns. You have done an amazing job...beautiful.
Can't help with the quilting questions (do it all myself), but I agree...shell out the extra $s for this beauty.
Please post another picture once it's done so we can all drool a little more :)

Wow, that is a beauty.

Wow what a stunning quilt! I can hardly wait to see it quilted. Just beautiful. Was it difficult to work with silk? Looks tough! :D :D :D

Your quilt is absolutely amazing. Goregeous!

So pretty! This would make a fabulous wedding quilt, but I'll bet you could never part with it!

Absolutely gorgeous, beautiful and stunning...there really isn't any words that say how incredible your quilt is!!! And I agree, do splurge on the quilting...to do anything else would be disrespectful of your time and effort. And I won't even suggest you send it on to me...how could you ever part with such a beauty??? :P

It's amazingly gorgeous!! :D Your work
on it, is so pretty. Congratulations on
a job Well Done!!
:D :D :D :D :D

Wow!!!!Beautiful.

Incredibly beautiful. What a treasure.

I think that you could contact a local guild and get the name of a long arm quilter in your area. There are some very talented quilter's in your area. Ever go to one of thier shows?

It will depend on the design that will be done on it and the amount of bobbins that are used. Some gals charge by the square inch. Around here for an allover design for a queen is about a hundred and fourty dollars. But, I am thinking that might be a lot more because of buying the silk threads that will be required and the specialty designs that it deserves.

That is a family treasure fo sure... goregeous!

I've never seen anything quite like that. It is gorgeous. Did you make up the patterns yourself?

Oh my! That is stunning - so understated and elegant and a Lot of work! I would be very fussy about chosing a quilter for that if I were you - it's an heirloom for sure. I think there was a thread up recently discussing the cost of LAQs. :D

OMG! That is fabulous! :shock:

That is absolutely beautiful. It just takes my breath away.

What an elegant quilt! Awesome job!!

This is awesome....I love the way it looks so pleasent.... :D

Fantabulous! Breathtaking! If it were mine, I would want be sure the quilter has worked with silk before, because it requires special handling. I agree with the others who've said don't try to save money on the quilting end after you've done such a SPECIAL job on YOUR end with the embroidery and piecing. Please post pictures when the quilting is done.

wow! that's gorgeous :D

Beautiful, beautiful quilt!!!! I keep going back and looking at the pictures! lol!! Love the block with the butterflies. The whole quilt has heirloom written all over it!!!

this is stunning! found this thread after seeing the incredible quilts you posted pics of in your last blog. i do hope that you are able to post after quilting pics of this stunning quilt! kudos for being such an artistic talent ..you are such a fabulous inspiration!!

an awesome quilt

that's going to depend on how you want it quilted and where you live. Since it's got so much embellishment on it already, your quilter will need to be very careful to avoid the embellishment . here in the Midwest, I'm guessing it will probably be somewhere from 4-7cents per square inch--but again, it depends on how you want it quilted and where you live.

Gorgeous quilt!
