Here is a picture of my second quilt - I finished it in 1995 and it is hand pieced and hand quilted.

Yes, I do wholecloth quilts, all by hand.

Sorry, Harriet.... this is impossible at the moment. The quilt will be displayed at a quilt festival next month and will be back at the end of June. I will try to do it later. Here is a detail picture.

Candace 05-28-2010 06:31 AM

The quilt is 239 x 210 cm (94" x 83"). I will take photos when the quilt is back from the quilt show at the end of June!

Beautiful quilting. The quilting sure did make a pretty quilt beautiful.

Pam 05-28-2010 05:59 PM

Too beautiful for words, as usual! Well done.

Finally in a show, I see. Please let us know how you do. I am excited for you about this.

kwiltkrazy 05-28-2010 09:25 PM

Omg what a treasure, can we see pictures of the details. It is absolutely ......... No word to say how great it is. I envy people that can do this, my hands won't let me do that. Anyway, I don't think my patience would hold out.

kwiltkrazy 05-28-2010 09:26 PM

Wow, it's just breath taking.

Borntohandquilt 05-28-2010 10:57 PM

Thank you so much for your very nice comments. I'm very proud to say that the quilt won two ribbons in 1997 at the European Quilt Championships. This was such a surprise to me!

cindygale 05-29-2010 06:38 AM

beautiful..lots of work.. :-D :-D

mountain deb 05-29-2010 09:30 AM

I just thought of a new game. Instead of counting jelly beans, hang a quilt and guess-a-mate how many stitches are in the quilt. Hint, take a 4", 6" or what ever that represents a typical quilting of the quilt. Count all stitches in that area and multiple by how ever many blocks fit the quilt to get a good guess of the number of stitches.

amorerm 05-29-2010 10:08 AM

Isn't amazing how "quilting" can make such a beautiful quilt out of something so simple. This is great.

sylvia77 05-29-2010 11:47 AM

I agree with Harriet, I want to see the whole quilt! The quilting on the parts I can see is just beautiful!

pookie ookie 05-29-2010 11:50 AM

It's wonderful. So much cooler than 1995.

beginnerquilter 05-29-2010 01:47 PM

That is just beautiful...and stitching all of those stitches...wow...

KiwiQuilter 05-29-2010 02:38 PM

I love seeing your work, and look forward to seeing a bigger photo of this one (when you are able). Thank you so much for sharing, and inspiring :)
