“Insanity Revisited” (Dear Jane)

by Karen on May 17, 2010

in quilts

11 rows of hard work put together. Already got started on the 12th row last night – 25 blocks left to do :)   The stats so far:  259 hours and 55 minutes of hand piecing.  143 blocks, and 2,943 pieces (started this one April 12, 2008)

11 of the 13 rows (click to enlarge)

Today it is time to do some work outside – it is not raining!!  Thank goodness I’m getting tired of getting April’s rain in May.  I will get back to some sewing later this afternoon or evening.

The quilt is beautiful. It is a lot of work but what an heirloom piece. Glad you have some sunshine today. We have sun but it is too wet to work outside. Guess I’ll have to quilt!

OMG… all that work! I don’t think there would be enough gold in the world to tempt me to do one of those for hire, and you’ve done one of these before? !!!
It sure is beautiful!
