    Have started quilting my scrappy queen size, this is only my second hand quilted project quilt size, and I am loving it. I am trying hard to keep my stitches even rather than going for small, so this quilt is really a practice one. I am posting this for those of you who think hand quilting is not for them, plain and simple can be just as enjoyable! Gal

    I like the plain and simple, it reminds me of my mother's hand quilting. I didn't consider hand quilting because the stitches are so small and time consuming. Love to see the finished quilt. :thumbup:

    Hand quilting is my FAVORITE too!! So relaxing and I can watch TV at the same time. Your stitches look good. Keep on going.

    You are off to a great start, your stitches look nice & neat! I agree with your idea of not worrying about stitches per inch.

    I envy those of you who do the hand-quilting ~ maybe when I retire I'll give it a go, I'm afraid it will take me a lifetime to do one quilt :)
