That's a great quilt! Doesn't it feel wonderful to finish a project and know it will be loved?

Yes. She was more thrilled, I think, that one of us is picking it up and carrying on. She's been sewing, quilting and crocheting all her life, but none of her six children or 28 grandchildren (the great-grands are still tinies) picked up the quilting. Sewing and crochet, yes, but not the quilting, and the quilting was her passion. I think that meant more to her than anything.

Great job, and you did the entire thing from start to finish yourself!! I love that...I have a really hard time handing it over to someone else to quilt after going through all the effort of putting it together. I can't free motion worth a hoot, however, and doubt that I'll live long enough to do it right. Therefore, I stab, too.

I love the colors...I also like the large stitches...I did that on a "cars" quilt for my grandson and I thought it looked good...when you hand quilt it goes faster with the larger stitches...great job...
