Quilt

You did a wonderful job on the hand quilting. I live in the Northeast and usually try to have a hand quilting project in my frame for the winter....I didn't get to it last year and really missed just the quiet time I spend stitching away....at my own pace.

Thanks everyone..If I had another choose I probably wouldn't hand quilt...but can't afford to have it done and can't figure out how to do it on my sewing machine..Even bought the quilting foot..!

What a beautiful job you did. Every point is where it should be, and every seam matches. I love the colors you chose. I am always amazed with by anyone who hand quilts. It takes such a long time, but is so beautiful. Your quilting looks so even. Great job, I must say!

Dianne, YOu did a beautiful job on the quilting. I love doing it because I can watch TV, hold a conversation or listen to music etc and still be getting something done. Years ago when video rentals were still very popular the girl at the store knew when I was working on a big quilt because I came and rented several movies.
I am leaving on a cruise thursday and will be sure and take a portable handquilting project with me.
The more you do the faster you will get. I find it faster in the long run because I don't have to struggle with the machine and rolling it to get it under the arm etc. The part I hate most about making a big quilt is machine attaching the binding before finishing it by hand. Dragging all that fabric and batting around is a real pain.
