Welcome from Cincinnati, Ohio! Your quilt makes me feel like I'm looking at the real thing! Your quilt is just stunning. I can see why it took you 10 years. Absolutely gorgeous!! :-)

I created a quilting stitch (I call the Waffle Stitch) on the first quilt, and used it again on this quilt around the middle rose. Tell me what you think.

Your fabric choices are prefect stained glass replicas.

Thanks for sharing your other quilts!!! Your work is jaw-dropping. I love applique and I know how much time it takes to hand sew all those pieces. I worked hard on a hand applique quilt and it took me seven months to complete, well, I've decided the boarder needs some more work, so it's really not done. And, it's a lot smaller than yours! Your ten years was certainly reasonable for this beautiful work of art. What are you doing next???

I'm making a black and gold chenille for my son. He has a little input for the center block...but the rest is me. I'll upload pictures as it progresses.
