It"s done!!!!!!
 
3 Attachment(s)
I love the 1930's repro prints and I love to hand quilt so I made this bedspread for our queen size pillow top bed. It is 115 inches X 124 inches. I hand quilted it. I call it 'Springtime Fantasy or What was I thinking!?!' Never again will I hand quilt one this big. It took me a total of 4 years to hand quilt. I admit I didn't work on it everyday and some days, I just wasn't interested to work on it after work, but I stuck to it and it is finally done!!!! I can see by the pictures that I need to make a new runner for the top of my cedar chest to match.

Absolutely worth that 4-year wait. I love those 1930s fabrics and colors as well and this design is particularly nice. In the close-up I can see how nice your quilting is too! Great job.

Beautiful! I love the pattern, soft colours, and your quilting is exquisite. I'll echo those who commented that it was well worth 4 years of work.

The quilt is beautiful!!

EmiliasNana 11-24-2014 03:05 PM

What a phenomenal quilt. It would have taken me four years to piece it, let alone hand quilt it. It is gorgeous. So glad it is for you.

orangeroom 11-24-2014 03:07 PM

Wow! That's beautiful. I admire anyone who hand quilts anything. I had to hand quilt a single block once for a class. Never again. That was only a 12" block. Good for you.

sandrab64 11-24-2014 03:10 PM

What a treasure!

SouthPStitches 11-24-2014 03:11 PM

Now this is truly an heirloom quilt. Just beautiful. As beautiful as the machine quilting can be, IMHO there is nothing quite like hand quilting.

OhCanada 11-24-2014 03:11 PM

That is a beautiful quilt Mary! Lovely soft colours and the hand quilting is exquisite. Congrats

OMG, that is just stunning!!! Thanks so much for sharing with us.

KLO 11-24-2014 04:37 PM

Those are not my kind of fabrics or colors but I love your quilt! It's absolutely beautiful! What a huge quilt to hand quilt! Yikes! But well worth the results. I did notice your runner was not in the same type of fabrics but at least you won't be working on such a large scale when you make the new one.

peaceandjoy 11-24-2014 05:12 PM

Wow, gorgeous! The fabric, the piecing the applique and the QUILTING are all wonderful. I was so focused on the quilt I didn't even notice the runner on the chest.
