Lots a work on this!!!

Each color is a separate piece. I started with 16 pieces of different colors and did a stack and wack. Before they were sewn back together, each was edged with a 1/4 piece of black. That took 2 months. Thanks.

Yep! that's what it is. Thanks

Nothing short of spectacular. Must be heartbreaking after all that time and work, not to mention cost to have to sell it. At least, save it for a quilt show, then sell it. I am sure you have a winner there.

Yeah it is. I realized its size about half way thru. I will keep it until my guild's show next May. By then I should have had it valued. Oh well. On to the next one!
Thanks.

And proud you should be. I love stained glass, and I love quilting. You have combined the two into one beautiful work of art
