that is an amazing quilt.. i love it a lot...

Breathtaking!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh, there's just nothing left to say! What a beautiful job.

What a beauty! Your work is outstanding.

Andrea, this is just LOVELY! I was at Road to California in January and altho I'm a long arm machine quilter, I was disappointed not to see much hand quilting. Keep up the good work! (maybe you should enter it in some shows!?)

Beautiful job and beautiful quilting.

Stunning work as usual from you! I've always wanted to do a whole cloth quilt. Maybe one of these days.

That's just beautiful!

Such an awesome quilt - stunning!!

Yes - it was exhibited at the World Quilt Show in 2011 (and won the Best of Country Award for Germany) and at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, UK. I plan to enter it again this year, probably at the Scottish Quilt Championships in Edinburgh.

You've done an incredible job on this! Absolutely stunning!!

You are absolutely amazing. What an artist to take a plain piece of cloth and turn it into a masterpiece. Always admire your fabulous work.

A marvelous work of art-just stunning. A wholecloth quilt is on my bucket list-but I doubt that mine will be hand quilted. A very inspiring piece!

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the color.

What a beautiful piece, Andrea! I love seeing your handwork; the detail in your designs is absolutely fabulous!!!

When I could do hand quilting I always wanted to do something like this but didn't have the time. If that was in my house I would guard it like everything. NO ONE would touch it. Can't believe all the work and the joy you have for finishing it. thanks so much for sharing

Beautiful, a true work of art...

WOW... just wow.
Amazing work! :thumbup:

Really lovely quilt. I enjoy hand quilting but would never find enough time to complete one as detailed as this. Thank you for sharing with us. Awesome job!!

Oh my goodness! That just takes my breath away! I want to quilt like that when I grow up!

Stunning quilt!! I also hand quilt but I have not made a whole cloth quilt. It's on my bucket list.

Wow! It's really pretty. My hands hurt thinking about handquilting. Arthur likes to interrupt.

Beautiful work!!! Wow.......you are so talented & patient :)

absolutely gorgeous.

those are stunning

Wow. Great job.

Absolutely stunning workmanship! What brand of fabric and thread did you use? I am having a difficult time finding even thread count fabrics for handquilting.

Wow, nice , very beautiful handwork.

That is so beautiful.

A M A Z I N G !!! I am in awe of anyone that hand quilts. Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous.

Absolutely fabulous, love the green and the magnificant quilting.

Beautiful!!

You talked about making that in 4 months! I cannot imagine! Did your hands hurt when you went to bed at night?

Absolutely stunning!! I love wholecloth quilts but have never ever tempted one. Your handquilting is unbelievable.

Beautiful work and I admire that you had the patience to complete it.

I agree!! Beautiful!!

Your dedication and hard work shows because that is unbelievably gorgeous!

I used P&B Color Spectrum solids and a P&B printed fabric in a matching color. It has a thread count of 75/75 and is wonderful to hand quilt. Most fabrics for quilts has around 60/60. As far as I know P&B changed the quality of their fabrics now - at least the fabrics we can purchase here in Germany.
The quilting thread I used was YLI.

No, fortunately not. I think my hands are made for hand quilting and the muscles are very well exercised. I quilt 6-8 hours per day.

Wonderful quilt. The time and patience put in sure paid off.
