And finally I#ve done the quilting: it's for the first time I quilted each block with another pattern! Because this quilt isn't too big I can handle it with my normal sewing machine! Here are some pictures: front side of the block and the back, because the quilting shows up much better!

These are only a few blocks, I don't know whether it is allowed to make a link to my picasa album:

There can all the blocks and the quilting be seen!

Wow! Your quilts are beautiful, 1000scraps. I love them. So much history, dedication, and love in every detailed inch. You should be quite proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing them with me (us).

Beautiful quilt. I was looking around the site to find the patterns but can't seem to find blocks and directions for them. I did get the coffee mug one. Looks like they all might be on the blockbase program?
4 years of working on it was worth the effort!

Throughout 2012/13 there was a block every Saturday fitting to the theme "rights for women", barbara told a little story behind the block and one got to know how women lived in the early 19th century!
