Wow beautiful. You did a really GREAT JOB!!

:thumbup:

It looks like stained glass, and I know it is true, because I used the same design in real stained glass. I did one as a large candle/votive holder for my DDIL for her birthday. Did the rose and the rose buds in red on that one. I also used the same rose in pink to make a wind chime for my other DDIL for her birthday.

Yes, I used a lot of stained glass patterns to design the blocks. The white and off-white fabrics all have similar patterns found on glass.

Beautiful, beautiful quilt. I have been reading all the comments and have to agree with everyone, however, I have to say that not 'everyone' can machine quilt. I machine quilt, but Charisma, for instance, MACHINE QUILTS! Just like hand quilting, there are many degrees of expertise and I have to admire beauty in both techniques.

Again, gorgeous quilt, hope you are able to sell it for what it is worth.

I have not had the luxury of purchasing a quilting machine. All of my quilting is done on a frame by hand, as well as the applique work. Personally, I admire the machine quilter's ability to knock out quilts in a timely manner. So many times I've been so excited to get the quilt to a finished point, that I go without sleep. But, personally, I believe there is more value in a quilt that is hand-quilted.

I also do not know what it is worth. That's what I've been trying to find out from everyone here. If anyone knows, or has a ballpark figure, please share it with me.
