It didn't take me long to finish quilting the Pastor's Attic quilt once I got home from retreat. The crack in my thumb was completely healed so I got to quilting again. I don't have any lovely pictures taken outside. We've had a rainy week and the ground is too soggy to take this quilt outside. You'll have have to settle for indoor pictures.
The whole quilt.

Pictures of quilting motifs on the backing fabric. The designs are easier to see in person.
A total of 885 yards of thread were used in the hand quilting.
Oh my, your Pastors Attic quilt, Gretchen, is a masterpiece. I cannot begin to fathom the work and love that has gone into this most amazing quilt. Your quilting is a triumph!
This quilt is staying here. Someday it will end up with one of my grandchildren but I'm going to enjoy it until I no longer have my own home. Some people make lots of applique quilts. This will probably be the only all applique quilt I ever make. Happy Stitching!
Wow! I am speechless by admiration! A wonderful work you have done here. Hand quilting is amazing! It was so nice to see the whole quilt. Well done! :-) So I hope you get better weather soon. ;-)
I have made several all applique quilts and doubt I will make another either, they take a lot of time don't they. Wonderful job, it is a beautiful quilt and the grid makes a lovely finish
Oh Gretchen... this is MAGNIFICENT!!! You have sooo outdone yourself with this quilt! I am excited to see it bound, washed and snuggled under now :D Kathi
So glad you stuck with it and made it to the end. Many don't have it in them to finish such a big project. You are an inspiration. It is absolutely wonderful!!!
It is an absolute quilt completed to perfection! You put in many many hours to complete her! Congratulations and I know you are a happy camper to be through with it! Such a beauty! You do such excellent hand quilting! Hugs
Congratulations for your finish. This is a beautiful quilt, with so many blocks I'd love to make. You are the one who got me interested in this pattern about 3 years ago, I think. I never found the whole book, but I do have a block, or maybe two. =)
Ha, ha, I went to Amazon to see if it's available and discovered I DID buy a copy of it! So that means I just have to find it. LOL If I don't, the used ones are now half of what I paid in 2016. =)
Hope you find your book! I enjoy the simplicity of this Baltimore Album quilt. I debated between this book and several others before I purchased it. I look forward to seeing the start of your blocks! Happy Stitching!
Wow! Congratulations on such a meaningful finish! Your quilt is a lovely - beyond lovely - treasure that I'm sure your family will treasure for years to come! Glad I found you at Bambi's link up!

ReplyDeleteHand quilting isn't a fast process. Stitching a little everyday gets the quilt quilted!
DeleteAbsolutely stunning! I wonder what that feels like to take that wonderful quilt off the frame to admire all that quilting!
ReplyDeleteIt was a wonderful feeling of accomplishment! I'm working on the binding now, I should be finished by Sunday.
DeleteOh Gretchen, she is beautiful! It's so nice to see the whole quilt all quilted.
