AMISH BAR QUILT (Part 2)

My Amish Bar Quilt is finally complete!!The original post about this quilt was in 2013 at:  https://indianaquilter40.blogspot.com/2013/10/amish-bar-quilt.html

I have finally gotten the hand quilting, binding, and tag done so here are photos of this beautiful reversible quilt.  It has about 5 spools of cream quilting thread and a wool batting (Hobb's Tuscany line).

I purchased the pre-printed top that I used to hand quilt  this quilt from The Stencil Company at this link: https://www.quiltingstencils.com/  .  This company has all kinds of wonderful quilting stencils and pre-printed designs from 18" square to queen size. I have purchased from this company for years and have always been happy with the products and service.

AMISH BAR QUILT (Part 1)

AMISH BAR QUILT  (Part 1):

 I am currently hand quilting this top using a per-marked whole cloth quilt top as the pattern for the quilting design. I do this by basting the top, batting (in this case a wool one), and backing together and putting it in the quilt frame upside down - in other words, the top (the Amish Bars) is currently on the bottom and the per-marked "top" will ultimately be the back but is for now on the top so I can see the design.

 I am using a cream colored thread which will really show on the bar side. I guess it really will make a reversible quilt. It is queen size. I pieced the top over a long weekend during the summer and started quilting it on 8/3/2013.

UPDATE: 

This quilt has been in and out of the quilt frame several times over the past 4+ years, but today 2/24/2018 I put in the last quilting stitch. 

 Now to bind it and make a tag. It looks good. We have had rain for several days and so I can't hang it out for a photo. Will get one on here as soon as I can.
