    Such a lovely quilt - well done to the person that made it - I love love handquilting and feel quite jealous that you have been asked to do it, what you are doing is going to make it look wonderful. Happy quilting.

    Don, I know you are doing a wonderful job on that beautiful GFG. The maker so tastefully chose such pretty colors. Best of luck and enjoy the journey.

    A beautiful quilt, and as others have said, you couldn't pay me enough to hand quilt it.

    Once again Don - you have taken on a challenge that i cannot even imagine. "RESPECT" is the only word i can think of. Best of good luck on this project....this winter is starting off cold enough - hope this quilt helps keep you warm while you stitch !! I know you will but PLEASE share the final result with us.

    PS..sorry....but i could not do this if someone offered me a million dollars !! Wish i could.

    This looks the same as a quilt I inherited , same size blocks and fabrics from the 30's and 40's. Your work is beautiful and will be appreciated..
    Someone hand quilted mine for me ( she didn't piece quilts but loved to do the quilting) I would be ashamed to tell you what she charged.

    Good for you to hand quilt. I love hand quilting. It isn't the fastest way to do things, but the process itself tends to slow me down from my hectic day to day pace. I love the rhythmic flow of making the stitches, and feel a real connection to the quilt I'm doing. As far as doing it for someone else. WOW! I will never live long enough to get all the ones for family that I want to complete, so admire anyone who can take on a project like that.

    Good luck to you.
