I call this my quilt of quilts. There are 12 months of quilts. I only took a few pictures of the individual blocks.

I haven't quilted it yet. I haven't completely decide how I want to do it. I am pretty sure I will hand quilt it but not sure how.

and one more block.

That is beautiful! Where did you get those squares?

That is soooo nice. Did you do the individual blocks? Love it!!!!

FABULOUS!!!!

Counted Cross Stitch, right? I also do CCS, never thought to do them in a quilt.

Absolutely breathtaking!

Mary-that is really pretty. You have put a LOT of time into that quilt-and it shows! Wonderful job. I think it should be "the mother of all quilts!"

this is one about whether a hoop is required or not

i have done smaller projects in round hoops and look forward to completing my current project to see how a larger project goes

i have a quilt frame but i really like being able to move the hoop around in my lap as i don"t do well quilting with my hands in certain positions

your project is beautiful and will be amazing when you"re complete

fantastic work

Those are not preprinted panels. I cross stitched each one of them. Needless to say it took me several years. I think about 7 years. They are done over uneven linen type fabric.

wow! that is gorgeous! i would be putting that baby up so no one could touch it!
