It's taken almost a year, from start to finish. Sometimes I was tempted to put it aside, and come back to it at a later date. I persevered! It travelled with me from coast to coast. My hands were kept busy as I stitched away. Stitching while hubby was driving....or....while watching TV.....or.....listening to a book. Once a week I went to a Wednesday afternoon sewing group. This was a great help for staying motivated. This morning I finally finished it. It went through a short washing cycle and us now hanging to dry. In less than a month a new mystery quilt will begin.

Wow, that would be an amazing amount of work to complete something like so beautiful. Do you have any idea how many hours it took?

I couldn't even begin to calculate that. Assembling the blocks was about two weeks....then the bead and embroidery over the seams....assembling everything and then the quilting. The binding was the quickest...it took me about two days.

Thank you. I knew when this quilt was first started that it would take some time to complete. I don't think I had any idea of how long it would take.m certainly longer than I had anticipated.
