It Takes Time

I love hand quilting.  But it certainly takes time!  I saw this quilt in a shop maybe six years ago?  And fell in love.  But it was a finished quilt.  An AMISH finished quilt.  In other words, more than I could possibly afford.  So I tried to recreate it.

I've been working on these diamonds for so long that once I finished the central medallion, I kind've gave up.  In other words, no borders -- just as is.  So it's small, but it's GORGEOUS!  And it's all hand pieced and hand quilted.  
 I'm kind've proud of that.  Even if it did take me six years!
 My next hand project will be one inch hexagons!  Six more years . . . here we come!
