My daughter loved the quilt so she has been deemed quilt worthy and can keep it. Here's what it looked like finished--or most of it as I couldn't fit it all in camera frame. I'd asked my older daughter if she would like a quilt for xmas next year since I'd made one for her brother and sister and she told me she had enough quilts. That was before she saw this one and then decided maybe she should let me finish the one she's been working on.

I started it in October but I'll put it in terms of hours because there were days when I didn't work on it at all so saying October - December wouldn't be quite accurate. I'd estimate somewhere between 100-125 hours. Over 80 of that was for the quilting and the rest for the cutting, piecing and binding.
Really nice job! Did you do the one on the right before the one on the left and decided it was too may pieces or the other way around because of the size of the glass you needed? I ask only because I've been there.
I haven't done any stained glass work since moving to this house as there's no room to set things up but I miss doing it. Someday I will have a big enough studio!!
It's beautiful, M....My daughter loved the quilt so she has been deemed quilt worthy and can keep it. Here's what it looked like finished--or most of it as I couldn't fit it all in camera frame.

That is beautiful. I'd love to see one of the original paperback to The Tommyknockers. Nice job!

Can only begin to imagine it quilted. With your talents- triple wow!!

One of these days I must learn to tag correctly so I can include all names so please forgive me for doing a blanket thanks.(My first attempt at tagging was a fail)

Haven't ever done anything like this but my guess is that as a DIY project, you might have to do this in two steps. First deboss the title using an alphabet stamp set (a google search turned up several brands) possibly available at your local craft store (Michael's, A.C. Moore, JoAnn's, etc.) and then use gold leaf/foil sheets (also available at craft stores). They also make the sheets in other metallic finishes such as silver and copper and you can find assorted packs. You'd also need an adhesive for the foil and a soft bristle brush to apply the foil to the adhesive and brush away the excess. If you've never done any gold leafing using the sheets, it's really easy and there are YouTube how to videos.
