I just finished this quilt after three long months of hand quilting. The Pattern is God's Eye from the Constantine site. It went together easy enough, but I didn't like the way the background fabric looked after it was together so I thought, I'll just quilt lines across it and I did 1/4 lines. Midway, I realized I had put a couple pieces in wrong so I had to take them out in the middle of the quilt and replace it. Not fun. It turned out OK, not my favorite color choice but it was a request from the person I made it for. I should have done some feathers or something because the lines were so boring to do. But it is done!!! Amen!

Hand quilting always impresses me. Thanks for the close-up.
I can see why the lines would be boring, but you hung in there and created a real treasure.

I think you did a great job!

Wow, all that handquilting, what a job! Beautiful quilt!

I to am impressed with all the hand quilting!! It's beautiful~!

your quilt is beautiful. how impressive to have hand quilted it :!: :shock: :thumbup:

you did a gorgeous job!

It twas dull but I thought maybe the lines in the fabric called for it, now I'm thinking I was nutty.

Thanks for giving me a laugh! We've all been nutso at one point or another in our lives!! The main thing your quilt taught you was perseverence and it paid off!! It's very impressive and that's better than anything whether nutso or not!!

:thumbup: :thumbup:

I like the quilt, you did a beautiful job on it. thank you for sharing. Penny

wow, handquilting. People who handquilt are awesome like nurses. I could never do it, but i sure am glad someone does. It is simply amazing to me that someone has that patience. My husband always gets as close as he can at quilt shows and just stares at the handquilted ones. Funny big burly guy dressed in camo at a quilt show. :)
You should get a medal! Looks great.

What a pretty quilt! I think the colors work.

Great, great job!

I am so impressed with your hand quilting!! Such beautiful work, and you have the patience I can only dream of.
:) :)

Absolutely beautiful and great job hand quilting all those lines.

I think it looks beautiful and I give you serious kudos for sticking it out :)

Wow, hand quilted @1/4" you are ambitious, I wouldn't have the patience

You did a fablous job and so much love was put into all of that quilting!!!!

whats your secret from getting a sore left finger...mine is so sore and scarred and I'm only half done with quilt...I've tried the spoon, plastic sticky things and new skin...can only do it about a half hour at a time

Have you tried to paint your finger with several coats of clear nail polish? Or several coats of liquid bandaids? Just a thought. n2.

:D :D

i happen to love that block. great quilt and a lot of work!

ditto. That would have taken me 20 years of hand-quilting. Congrats to you. It looks amazing.

Very pretty. And I'm sure very time consuming. :thumbup:

Pretty and you did a very good job.

I like the lines. I think it gives it a feel like a woven Navajo rug.

I think it turned out wonderful. Hand quilting amazes me. You did a wonderful job.

great job

Beautiful. You do gorgeous work. I've never done a strip quilt but have been thinking about doing one with scraps one of these days.
