Borntohandquilt, What a beautiful quilt. I am now going to try my hand at a wholecloth quilt. Your quilts will be in museums someday. I am curious are you German, I lived in Germany for many years and you written English is perfect. Glenn

I love it. You are such an inspiration to me but I'm not sure I will ever get my stitches that small. How many to the inch? I know I'm not supposed to ask but 7 is about as good as it gets for me.

Thank you, Glenn! I do my very best. Yes, I am German and I live in the north, not too far away from Hamburg.

Well, the number of stitches depends a lot of the material I use. Not every fabric allows to do such tiny stitches. Normally I can do 12 to 14, sometimes 16 (only counted on the quilt top).

Do you do only whole cloth quilts? I can't help but wonder, how long does it take you to complete one of these absoluteley fabulous quilts?
