What a great acheivement, hand pieced and hand quilted and it only took a year and a half?? My goodness I have had machine pieced quilts that were hand quilted take me MUCH longer than that!

It is beautiful.

That is so AWESOME! It's beautiful. I know I will never even attempt that quilt, but I'm so glad there are brave quilters like you that show it can be done and done well. Thanks for sharing.

A true masterpiece!!! I only dream of making a Dear Jane quilt, but I do have the book if that counts. It's great that you kept track of time spent, etc. Such a wonderful achievement and a beautiful quilt to treasure.
