Now Shelley, you know that you are like the rest of us overachievers... yes, it has 3K+ pieces... You would have taken the chanllenge... maybe not as aggressively as you did this :D
Gorgeous quilt! A challenge to those of us just getting into quilting...never quit... just keep piece :D

Now that is an beautiful quilt. I think they will love it and obviously you love them very much. So much work. Its a timeless pattern and color choice. Thrilled would be the word I would use if it came my way.

What a great scrap quilt that would make! I actually have a TON of already pieced 1 3/4 HST all squared up and just waiting for some project. Saved them from making a bunch of flying geese blocks. This quilt would work quite well for them. Lovely job you did and I like the quilting too.
