Q7 is an Irish chain quilt. I got every colour in a range of fabrics and created my Irish chain. The quilt took such a long time to make as there was a 2 month pause in the middle when we painted the house and then again when I made Manie his birthday quilt. I hand stitched each pice and then hand quilted the whole quilt.I used a wool batting and it has really made the qult soft and warm. I love the brightness of this quilt.
The dates were as follows: Design start date - 1st of April 2011
Piecing start date - 1st July 2011
Top completed date - 4th March 2012
Quilting completed - 25th May 2012Stats colours - 14
blocks - 1500
approximate time - 9 months with spending at least 3 hours a day stitching so that would be approximately 830 hours hand stitching.
Here is the design:
