This is probably the most difficult and time-consuming quilt I've done; it's one of my favorites. It's the Farmer's Wife Sampler Quilt done as a BOW with a group here on QB. The blocks are 6".[ATTACH=CONFIG]387129[/ATTACH]

My most difficult, challenging, and I hope most stunning quilt was a double-wedding ring-- one set of rings overlapping another. (In the photo, the pale "background" "behind" the darker rings, make up another set of rings.) Each 12" square was made up of 88 pieces. There was no strip-piecing; it was all little pieces sewn together. I don't have a close up of it, unfortunately. It was a wedding present to some German friends of ours. It's called Medley from the 1994 book Double Wedding Ring Quilts: New Quilts from an old Favorite. Ah, I found a photo of the original made by its designer here: http://users.netonecom.net/~elf/gallery_medley.html

I have scrolled down nine pages of the most beautiful quilts I have ever seen. I am in awe of the talent on this board.
Thanks so much for starting this thread. I, for one, would love to see it continue. When I come back I will look at
page 10.
