Your quilting looks good to me. I don't know if this happened to you but when I first started you could tell a definite difference from the blocks I started with and the ones I finished with. There is a learning curve involved with everything and quilting is no different. Very pretty quilt

Elle - that is absolutely stunning! I'm so pleased you've got the hand quilting bug and for a first attempt that is fabulous - heck, for ANY attempt!!! Especially since the wadding is so lofty - you didn't make it easy on yourself, but the effect is lovely; I've always used dream poly for wall hangings and small projects and Hobbs 80/20 for beds but have just started a bed quilt with Hobbs Wool - it's so lofty I was afraid at first but it's a dream to quilt and the effect is stunning! I might even try a wholecloth with it - one day! Now when I first started hand quilting, I NEVER thought I'd want to do a wholecloth!

WOW :shock: Elle thats beautiful! I love the puffiness, it reminds me of an eiderdown my Nan had on her bed, so cozy and comforting to snuggle up to.
You should be very proud of yourself for making something so beautiful!
