Also from one hand quilter to another this is simply exquisite. Did you get the inspiration from the book "The Essential Quilter" by any chance? It reminds me a lot of a quilt in this book. This is a great reference book for hand quilters BTW.

Barbara Chainey's book is the best I know regarding hand quilting.

As with all of your quilts, I'm in awe! My hand quilting leaves a lot to be desired next to yours! I know it's not a contest but it gives me something to work for. What a beautiful quilt!

I'm a hand quilter but I've never seen anything like your quilt. How long did it take to do the quilting. I don't think I would live long enough to do that much. It's absolutely gorgeous and I hope it's a keeper!!
