I love your quilt! I love to hand quilt also...thats how I started. My to do list is soooo long that I decided to learn to machine quilt also...mostly those are my "give away/charity" quilts. I love to hand piece and quilt in front of the tv at night...that allows me time with DH and I can keep my restless hands busy.. :lol:

Your work is beautiful!!! We'll look forward to seeing your 3 or 4 quilts a yr!!

Thanks justquilting, so glad you like it!
thanks Sharon! I love hearing from everyone, live in the boonies, so this board is my quilting family and I love it here!

sandap, I know what you mean, I can never get my list done if I don't
learn to do some machine quilting!

nana2, always great to hear from a fellow hand quilter! It's so nice when someone understands what you do.

Thanks Diana, so glad you like it! All I know how to do is cut up fabric and sew it back together! :lol: :lol:

Very pretty quilt, Ninnie :thumbup: I too like to do scrappy quilts. Am working on one that is all hand sewn and am getting close to done on the top and will be hand quilting it. But also like to piece tops on the machine, like a little faster gratification sometimes :D Keep up the beautiful work and we expect to see pictures :wink:

Half the fun is when I sit in the floor with my stash all around me and choose which to put into my next quilt! I made my grandson a dinosaur quilt when he was little and now use a little piece of the material in every quilt I make. He always asks me where his piece of the quilt is! :lol: :lol: I now only have about a fq left of it, so have to use sparingly

WOW! I love the crosses. Is that a pattern you can share? Great job and I totally understand that you can enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

Congratulations.
