Beautiful work!
I have a friend who is a dental hygienist and she used to hand sew everything, mostly during down time at work. Now she does machine sewing with a new machine. She just didn't even have a machine at all! Her hand piecing is exquisite! So precise and everything lays so flat! She is learning how to machine quilt now!

stitchinMawmaw- Yes I liked this fabric also the quilt is for my husband. I think i got it at Walmart, but was a couple of years ago. The backing for it is also wildlife but ib color not silouette(don't think i spelled that right). Right now I am working on my doll quilt for the July swap.
