I am attempting to handquilt. This is my first quilt to piece, and I'm simply doing a crosshatch. Keeping it real!

This is a king size quilt....I do two hours a night. I have this figured out to the hour lol.....There will be 66 lines both ways, 132 lines total....I'm doing 2 lines a night, so should take me about 2 months if I keep doing 2 hrs a night...

Looks great. I am a handquilter too. It's so rewarding to me and I take my time. ALways have one on the rack. Thanks for sharing.

Your lines are perfect :thumbup:
Good job. I like a project that takes a good long time to quilt, very relaxing.

I love hand quilting, not an expert by any means. I just find it very relaxing. Will probably have to do some machine quilting just to get through my stack of tops!
