This is our entry for the Group/Bee Quilt category.
It is a quilt I stitched with my Romanian friends.
We learned a lot – about hand stitching, friendship, patience, determination, passion and  love for quilting.

We named it “Together in a Friendship World”.

The top is hand pieced  – using English paper piecing technique.

– just to see the size -91” x 91” –

The beginning of piecing.

It took us 3 months to stitch the top.

The flower sphere is appliqued onto the scrappy hexagon background.

-the back with paper templates-

I did the quilting, on my industrial sewing machine.

Some stats:
– hand pieced
– machine quilted
– 91” x 91”
– fabric: Kona cotton
– quilted with Aurifil thread
– category: group/bee quilt.
