    Cool -- but I can't figure out why it took so many hours and why it was worth so much! Am I just tired and not seeing something???

    If you click on it you can see it closer up. It is covered in very intricate embroidery.

    The photo really doesn't do it justice.

    The quilt must be huge! All that little detail in the hand embroidery! Absolutely amazing. I am very happy to see a quilter that values her time and don't sell until the price is right. It is hard to do when you are trying to sell for necessity. I don't think I would sell any of mine if it wasn't because I need to. I enjoy the process and always try to work on things I like and when I am done is hard to part with, so I can understand why she took to long to make up her mind.
