This is a quilt I made so I could use up some fabric I've accumulated for the past 25 or so years. It took me about 5 months and has close to 7000 pieces.

Very nice job and what dedication to finishing it. I am good at starting one but then I get bored with it and it goes in a box.

Such a beautifu work of art. I love how it covers the bed and I love the binding. Just beautiful, it would take me five years!
It's amazing how all your fabrics worked and blended together. This is huge quilt and lots of fabric to work with.
WOW O WOW. That is absolutely gorgeous...Love it.. Perhaps there is hope for me and reducing my stash. Thanks for sharing the number of piece as well as your picture.
Thanks to everyone. I was many hours of work almost everyday.

What a beautiful way to use up left over fabric. Love it!
I'm pretty sure my brain would crash trying to do what you did... GREAT job
Now that's a great quilt! Can you remember what project you used each fabric in? Once I made a "scrap" quilt and actually went out and bought more fabric for it. sigh.

thanks, most of it was stuff i had bought to make clothes with but never did. i bought some of the solids and a few prints to balance out the colors. the back of the blocks is also from the same pieces but not the same as the top piece. i will post a pic of the back soon.
This is beautiful. And yes, it must have been a lot of work doing all of that piecing.
