Just finished last night. This was pieced by machine, but quilted by hand. I wanted to make a quilt with only HSTs and came up with this arrangement. There are over 40 hours of hand quilting alone. I'm starting to think I'm a little crazy to invest so much time, but I guess it keeps me out of trouble.

There's an old treadle under there.

What a beautiful quilt, love blues and yellows together. I can appreciate the hours of hand quilting, it truly is worth the effort when you see this stunning result.

Fabulous work. You must be so proud. Someone in my quilt class made a blue and yellow log cabin and it looks fab. Must get some for my next project.

Wow! Beautiful quilt and your quilting is excellent! Good job!

As far as the time invested, if it is something that makes you happy, it is never a waste of time. The wonderful thing about quilting as a hobby is that, when you are done, you have a beautiful, useful item to enjoy for years to come, either by you or someone else. And just look how happy you have made us by posting a pic of your wonderful quilt!

tealfalcon 03-04-2011 04:26 AM

BeaUtiful....something about those two colors together is just so calming to me

Yooper32 03-04-2011 05:06 AM

That is a lovely medley that really talks to me.

PaperPrincess 03-04-2011 05:28 AM

Beautiful! Your stitches are so nice and even. Wonderful job.

MamaBear61 03-04-2011 05:31 AM

That is lovely.

cowpie2 03-04-2011 05:49 AM

This is beautiful, I've been trying to think of a good way to put the yellow/blue/white together for my sister as a surprise. Your design is perfect. Only 40 hours of hand quilting you are fast. It takes me a lot longer than that.

Mariposa 03-04-2011 05:51 AM

Fabulous quilt! Pretty colors, and wonderful quilting! :)
