You assumption of how they arrived at the count(s) is probably dead on... but the quilt is absolutely beautiful. Was the shape it was in as good as it looks? Looks almost new!

wow, what a gorgeous quilt.
I've been gone awhile, due to no internet. Did you ever get your sewing machine fixed?

Hi Eddie,

The quilt you shared is one that I have never seen a pattern for. It is beautiful, and such small pieces. I have a project that I wanted to start and it will have very small pieces as well. I have never tried to do something so small, but after seeing the this quilt with the small pieces, it would be worth it in the end. Thank you for sharing this wonderful quilt.

By the way, I see the quilt is on a very old bed, well it looks old. Does your group ever have a quilt show with any of the quilts you work with. It would be great to see them in person.

Thanks again, Cindy

That quilt is beautiful! I would imagine that the pieces were all hand sewn together as well? If so, that woman was incredible! I've tried hand sewing pieces together and I've decided that I really like my sewing machine!

I have no idea. But if I were to guess, I would say that it would be pronounced Zuh-lis-co.

Also, I forgot to mention that we had a quilt appraiser come through one of our open houses a couple of years ago and she was floored by the quilt. She said it was easily worth 4 figures. Everyone who comes through the open houses always gasp when they get to this room and see this quilt.

I have heard it pronounced "Ha-lis-co". X is pronounced H in Spanish, and it is a Spanish name.

The quilt is gorgeous, Eddie. Thanks for sharing it with us!!
