My wife is passionate about her quilts. That, and regardless of how impressive they are, she finds fault in every one she does. Still, I like to brag about them, so I'll brag about her current lap quilt she just finished.
The picture below is after she sews the 2 inch squares together on the board she uses for the layout. This one had 625 squares.
The finished product is below. After all the sewing of the backing and quilting, the edges were added to add to the final quilt.
You are right to be proud of your wife and that amazing quilt! And it’s got the best state depicted...bravo!!!
ReplyDeleteShe's made a few quilts of Texas. I think this will be her last...or maybe not. It's an art, and art doesn't allow mandates.
DeleteWow, that is indeed a treasure!
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed by her skill, patience and eye for detail. She's made many quilts over time; probably over one hundred.
DeleteThat's very nice. Curious, how many hours from start to finish? Does she keep track?
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't. She does it over weeks. Usually, she doesn't spend much time at each sitting, but will occasionally spend a few hours on a quilt. If I had to guess how long it takes, I'd guess somewhere between 30 and 50 hours to complete a quilt.
DeleteThanks. It's beautiful and impressive.
DeleteNice! Excellent work!
ReplyDeleteShe would disagree. The faults she sees, which only an expert would even notice, prevent her from being completely satisfied with her work.
