A Stitch in Time
Remember last Spring when I tried to sew these quilt squares together? (They are all from the 20's, hand cut). Well, once again, leave it to the Amish. I took them a box of fabric pieces and they gave me this a year later...
...a queen-sized double wedding ring quilt. Isn't it beautiful? There are 8,000 pieces in it, hours and hours of time in this quilt topper. She had to cut each piece down because the pieces I gave her were cut out wrong.
And, guess how much she wanted for her time?
$189.
That's right. Practically slave labor! I can't believe how well it turned out and that the top is actually finished. Those Amish, I tell you!

That is so beautiful! I can't believe she did all that for under 200 dollars!
That is amazing! I wish they gave lessons;)
$189?!?!?!?! That's it? Are you kidding me?
Wow!
Don't tell my quilting adicted mother. She would cry to know how little you paid for how much time went into the topper.
It is beautiful. Good for you!

Wow! That is unreal! Gorgeous!!!
Sarah are you kidding me?!? As I started reading this I was thinking you must have spent HUNDREDS of $$ on that. Wow, I need you to hook me up with that woman :)
I LOVE it. My grandmother handpieced a double wedding ring quilt for me when I got married. It is one of my favorite treasures. This is beautiful. Only $189? Yikes. I hope to see it quilted on your blog.
That is beautiful!!! I could never do that. I'm going to miss the Amish when we head back west! If you ever go to D.C there is some AMAZING Amish places to eat....mmmm.
