    Wow! The workmanship in this is just lovely! I am sure you will be able to complete it no problem. Hand quilting is not difficult just goes slow. It is nice to have handwork laying around to pick up and work on while watching TV. If you have not handquilted before I would recommend you try a few practice sandwiches and then you will be able to complete this beauty.

    Give it a whirl. By the time you complete it, you will be a hand quilter and proud of your work.

    wow what a challenge! i agree that you should give it a shot - your hand quilting will be mastered by the time you are finished with this.... what an honor to the person who started this quilt...

    Thanks for all the positive feedback from everyone.
    I'll have to do some research and lots of practice before I
    feel comfortable enough to tackle the hand quilting. Pieces
