    Never seen this pattern before. I like how the other hidden white flower is in the background with the darker center. Great job.

    So beautiful! You've done a great job. It does seem to cry out for hand quilting.

    Gorgeous! Just gorgeous. Hand quilt. You'll be much happier with the end result.

    Beautiful quilt!

    Love your quilt. I've never seen the connection between hand pieced/hand quilted and machine pieced/machine quilted. As Barney would say guess I'm obtuse. If I had spent all that time hand piecing a quilt I would be so over it that I would sent it to a longarmer. I know they are expensive. I just paid $175.00 to have a hand appliqued quilt that I worked on over a 7 year period done in a loose meander. But the way tellabella did hers is wonderful but I know to have one done professionally like that would cost a bunch and I'd have to save for a long time to afford it. But that would be better than letting a top like that lay around for years waiting for me to hand quilt. I can't hand quilt anything but toe hangers.

    Your quilt is absolutely gorgeous, but sadly I do not have any ideas as to how you would quilt it.

    It's absolutely gorgeous! I'm hoping someday I have the patience to make one.

    Whatever you decide to do, I am sure it will gorgeous!

    Personnally, I think hand quilting would be the crowning glory for it!

    What a beautiful quilt. I love that pattern and have made it before but as a real amateur and it didn't look like yours. I would consider hand quilting it but you're right it's likely to take a while. But it's going to be worth it.
