    Great! You have already done it faster today. There you go! Nice project for sitting back and doing 30 minutes at a time every now and then.

    Well done! Good luck with your goal. I'll bet you will be churning out those blocks like crazy.

    It looks wonderful! You will find yourself wanting to work on it all the time. I sometimes stitch while I am watching a movie, and before I know it, the thing is half finished.

    Looks good! Hand quilting is slow, but as you practice you'll get faster.

    great start. when I hand quilt, I give myself a goal for each day. I try to beat it only by a bit each day. You'll get there , and think, wow, it was just last year, month or whatever, that i started it. You go girl!!!

    My first, I can definitely see the difference between the first & the last, just in one quilt! It's gonna get under your skin & it will be a part of your life from now on! Greetings to the world of hand quilting

    I would try to do at least 1 block a day and if you have the time do 2. You would have this done before you know it.

    It is something you can thoroughly enjoy and it is addictive - when you start you can't seem to put it down. I love it and the finish product is very special - Enjoy
