It is sooo good to finish it! I had thought that I would give it to my DDIL but my DH wants to keep it for memories! This will be the first quilt I've ever kept. Now that it's finished I'm glad that he wants me to keep it!

i like how you dubbed it the "waiting quilt"...

I believe that quilting (especially hand) is Great therapy for me. It was so good every time someone went to the Dr.s office or to the hospital. (I have a big family!) It kept me calm.

Oh thank you!! I can do smaller! I did learn stitch control with this quilt. I learned to use my right thumb to make my stitches to come up exactly where I want it. :-) (On the dotted line!)

Now that this one is finished I think I'll make my GFG into a 'waiting quilt.' I like the idea of naming this 'My Patience Quilt,' those little squares drove me crazy. Every time I would get a rhythm going I'd have to stop & do a square!
