Your quilt is beautiful. I've got to try this pattern some day. Wish I could hand quilt as nicely as you do.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Thank you, quilter68. I have not been under any time pressures with this quilt, but it took me from mid December to this last week to quilt it, working on it in the evenings mostly.
To make I would estimate around 2-3 months, doing it in between the usual domestic demands made upon us as Wives, Mum's and Grandmas. I do not use the traditional method so it is quicker. I can give more details to those of you who are interested by PM's, but I fear the traditionalists among you would probably not approve!!!! From a personal point of view, I know I would struggle to complete a traditionally pieced DWR and so I have great admiration for those of you who have done one in that way.

Don't sell yourself short, the quilt and quilting are absolutely gorgeous. Nice job and of course the recipients were thrilled. What a beautiful labor of love.
