Oh Izy, i don't know how i could have missed your thread, your quilt came out absolutely gorgeous!!!! :)

Thanks Barb, I will be showing it at our little show end of the month :D

Are there any adjectives left to use? That had to be a labour of love!

Congratulations! Well-done!

Izy

Well I'm lost for words to be honest, an absolute treasure you have made there to be passed on down through your family. I love, love, love it.
You should be so proud for acheiving such a huge task you set youself.
I know your sad it's come to an end & you have finshed it, but I am willing to wait 2yrs for the next one you make to come my way :lol:
Love the close up of the block with the house, did you hand blanket stitch around it or was it done on your machine. Just wondering as I have signed up for a BOM when I went to Malvern that is made up of all different house blocks.

Your show will be overwhelmed when they get to see it, Well Done Izy :wink:

Oh Izy that is so beautiful. You must be very good at quilting and have been doing it a very long time to have it come out so nice. I just love it all.

Oh my, that two years seems to have been worth it....excellent job. Just beautiful, you should be very proud.

you could call the quilt "The House Where Izy Lived"!
great colors and an adorable pattern.

Izy -
when doing a sampler how do you know how much fabric to buy, if one has no real pattern? Yours is a dream and may you have sweet ones, your first night under your new quilt.

Connie, you mustn't have looked so close....this is my first quilt, I hadn't done any quilting before starting this one :D

BUT during the process I have moved on and done two smaller quilts and a couple of wall hangings, I am totally addicted now...lol!! :D

You should be very proud of this. It is beautiiful! I love the colors and all of the designs that you put on it. I love bunnies on quilts so unique. Good Job!

Izy, your colors are spectacular !! Awesome. And so well quilted. :mrgreen: Wish you were closeby. lol

You should be SO proud of this quilt!! It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

Susan

What an accomplishment! You should enter it in some quilt contests! It's a blue ribbon winner in my book!

WOW! Beautiful! Wonderful work!

Izy,

That is a wonderful quilt. I love the color and the design. I love the borders you designed, very creative and works well. It is well worth the wait and it is wonderful you learned so many techniques.

You will sleep well I'm sure.

Lisa

You have really outdone yourself on this magnificent work of art. It has truly inspired me to forge ahead.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! I can see why it took 2 years! You can really be proud of it! Happy quilting! :P Was going to send you a picture of my sampler quilt ( a bit smaller than yours) but it's on the other computer! Didn't even realize that I clicked on this one. It was one of the first ragg quilts that I made for my granddaughter.

Oh thank you everyone for all your enthusiasm, you really have boosted my confidence no end...you really are a great bunch of people, bless you all :D

I hope you do post pictures of your sampler quilt, I would love to see it - I am hoping soon to do a raggy quilt, I think they are soooo snuggly :D
But for now I need to get cracking on the crumb quilt I have 3/4's made for my son and his girlfriend for xmas :D

This is one of the most beautiful quilts that I have seen in a long time. Gorgeous. Gorgeous Gorgeous. Great job!
