Even with the struggles, the outcome is lovely! Nice work!

That quilt is gorgeous. You put a ton of hours & hard work into it and it turned out to be a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing it with us!

It's gorgeous! Could you elaborate on the difference between "needle turn" and "turned edge" applique? I would have thought they were one and the same.

I took a class on turned-edge applique where the fabric edge was turned around a freezer paper shape and glued. The freezer paper comes out, and the applique is machine sewn on the background with a clear thread. It's very different from putting the applique shape on the background and turning it with a needle by hand.

It's beautiful! Your center applique looks perfect!

Beautiful! Well worth the effort and now you can enjoy it!

Looks amazing.

Before I read about your struggles my first thought was "this might be her next entry in the VA State Fair" - sorry it was a challenge but it sure looks sharp!

Enjoy gazing at your work of art (heart)! I don't think I could stop looking at this quilt and go to sleep it is so beautiful!

well done! You have sparked my imagination! I'm thinking stained glass patterns would be easy to piece like this...
