Amazingly NOT cross-stitch. Wow! Here's how the quilt was made.....

"I have been obsessed for years with the idea of creating a quilt from tiny
squares of fabric...following a counted cross-stitch design. I began with a
simple little cross stitch design for a Christmas ornament and quickly
learned that it wasn't easy to cut multiple 1" squares of fabric...in
perfect measurement so that they would work in a quilt. It was literally
years before I figured out how to cut the squares perfectly...and then I
began looking for a more challenging pattern. I found this incredible "Old
West" pattern, bought the embroidery floss skeins that were required for the
pattern...and then went out to find fabric to match those colors. To make a
long story short...almost NONE of the colors I needed were available and I
spent the next year dyeing the fabric. Once I had adequate amounts of the
fabric dyed, I went to work sewing the over 10,500 1" squares together. The
piecing alone took over two years. The hand-quilting, binding and detail
work took another year...so in total, this quilt took three years to
complete. The quilt is made of 100% cotton, hand-dyed fabric. "
