    Default My First Hand Quilted Block

    Small beginnings. I did actually speed up once I stopped being so fumble fingered. I did 2.5 inches last night in half and hour, finished it today in twenty minutes. Only 224 more blocks to go. I might finish this before I die! LOL My goal was one a day. That may change!

    That looks good. Hand quilting is a perfect way to finish that quilt.

    Yes, enjoy the process. I find it very calming. It's a lovely quilt and I agree with Doggramma - hand quilting will be the perfect way to finish it. Please share photos when you're done.
