jeeze-o-pete that is one fantastic quilt!
hand pieced AND hand quilted? amazing...

Absolutely amazing! Jane had no idea what she was starting - I'm sure of that. So a question for you..... Did you do other projects in between or was the focus entirely through all that time? I simply could not dedicate myself to something for that long. Congratulations on a wonderful achievement! It is beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous! Be proud! I love the bright colors.

You are so deserving of congratulations on your outstanding quilt!! Be proud of your accomplishment and take good care of the beauty!!

Show us some close up pictures so we can admire the hand quilting and lovely piecing!!

Norva, your quilt is awesome. I love it. And, you earned the right to yell.

Wow, I'm impressed. I would never have the patience to complete it. It's absolutely beautiful. Kudos for sticking with it.

beautiful work!

I actually did completed one other quilt while I was working on this - and there are two that are in the works-not yet finished, but I worked on this one at least for a little while almost every day during that 17 months

I am so proud of all your hard work and dedication! What a wonderful work of art you made! Thanks for sharing!
