This is not the one I entered into the Fair. I started this quilt immediately after I did the first one. The first one was a little more simpler. It was 9 blocks (panes) of floral designs made to look like stained glass panes, separated by rows of colored squares, just like this one. The bordering was more colorful, paisley fabrics with jewel tones. It was beautiful as well, and appraised at $1500.00. This one is more complex than that one was.

G'Day from Australia. Your quilt is spectacular. It doesn't really matter how long it takes to do when it turns out this good. It really looks like a stained glass window in a church. Well done

Thank you Mrs. B. Everyone has so many kind words. I've never joined a quilting guild, because around here they seem to be very cliqueish like in high school. That's one of the reasons my quilt only received an honorable mention. I was, more or less, a newcomer to the quilting community, and my first stained glass quilt was one of the few quilts I did in the beginning of my experience with quilts.

I love the photo you used for your avatar. It reminds me of the blocks I did for the stained glass quilt I entered in the state fair. Beautiful work on that. So many stained glass patterns have the leading looking too thick and unrealistic. I like the applique version

I cannot even imagine the work that you have put into this quilt. How stunning! What I love most about it is the small block sections that are so jewel colored that you could swear they really are stained glass.
