your skill level at handquilting is much better than you are giving yourself credit for! I don't have the patience for handquilting, but do envy those that do.

It is beautiful. When I first looked at it, I thought it was machine quilted your stitches were so perfect.

Your quilting looks wonderful and your stitches are nice and even to me that's the hardest part your quilt will be beautiful when its done.

Wow, your stitches look great to me! I always end up with just a little prick showing on the back...not good.

Your stitches are so even. Beautiful hand quilting. It deserves a blue ribbon!

Very pretty. Only your 3rd attempt? You certainly can't tell.

I found when I was learning that the eveness of the stitches matters a lot more than the size. Yours are both pretty small and very even! Congrats!

Beautiful!! I'd take consistent stitch length over tiny any day. I think you're doing a GREAT job. Did you know Borntoquilt actually takes one stitch at a time when she quilts?? She's my inspiration, too. ;) LOVE handquilting, and it's such a dying art.
