Spectacular! I think we all need to try quilts that stress us periodically or how will we ever improve? You are way, way beyond a place I will ever get to..Thanks for showing us your masterpiece.
Hey love your quilt stand, does that belong to you? If so where did you purchase it? Kat |

Wow - I have that fabric and doubt I would do anything that difficult with it. Great inspiration -I am in awe. What's the name of the block/motif?

I saw a wall hanging of one motif of the flying swollows. This has four.
Along with y seams which were the easy part, there were 37 places where 8 seams met and many where six seams met. All these made those Y seams seem easy. Over half of the back ground is off grain, the birds are all off grain. I starch everything to keep the pieces from being stretch. I marked all the seams at the intersections. It took forever to piece and a long time to quilt. This is by far the hardest quilt I have ever made. Maybe this time I will wait five years before I do something "outrageously difficult" again |
From what I can see, it was well worth all that time you spent on it because it is sooooo beautiful. Great job!!!
|
Really pretty. I guess that's why you do Y seams for a stunning quilt. :-) Great work.
|
Your hardships on the beautiful piece have sure paid off. It is georgous!!
