It's beautiful but now I am a tad apprehensive to start anything from the Dear Jane CD I bought a couple of weeks ago. It may have been a pain but oh boy is it gorgeous!

It is fantastic!! I can understand your frustration though, it must have been stressful at times and I feel quilting should be relaxing and fun.

I Know she will love it.

I am reading the Chiaverini book now about Sylvia's bridal quilt blocks. I also bought the book that has the block patterns in it, but I don't know if I will ever attempt to do the whole bridal quilt. Your's looks great!! Wonderful job.

Beautiful quilt. I work on two or three quilts so that I don't get tired of the one. I get more made that way.

Love your Stupid Sylvia.....congrats for completing it....I have only gotten as far as choosing my background and border fabrics LOL

Bluelady 04-03-2011 09:43 AM

Awesome!! I am so impressed! I started a SBS a couple years ago. I think I have made 10 blocks. Now I am thinking I should get back to working on it.. at least now and then. It has been well over a year since I even looked at it.
Yours is absolutely gorgeous!
Whatever ya do, don't look at The Farmer's Wife quilt...

I can't even imagine the kind of patience dedication and fabric stash you used in making this masterpiece. You are truly dedicated to your art and your skill is evident. Sylvia is Simply Sensational!

I recently got that book, too. It joined the "quilts I want to make before I die" list that just keeps getting longer and longer and longer! Your quilt is beautiful and you should be very proud of the accomplishment. Thanks for sharing the picture.

Becky Crafts 04-03-2011 11:54 AM

Fabulous quilt! What a challenge! You couldn't get bored with every block a different pattern! I understand though because I'm going through that very thing now. Why did I get myself into this one?! LOL! Congratulations on finishing; it is truly beautiful!

That's really beautiful! Why are you looking at a "particular" quilt to make next? You love intricate patterns!!! I'd love to know what you're doing next when you make a decision!

Scrap Happy 04-03-2011 03:42 PM

Beautiful!! :thumbup:

xsquilter 04-03-2011 04:32 PM

Your quilt is fantastic! I recently purchased this book but won't be starting it until I finish all my WIPs! That's a deal I made with myself! Then, I'll reward myself with a new start!
