I'm hand quilting a wall hanging. It's about 5 feet by 5 feet.
That is wonderful! I'm planning to make my Gran a table runner for Christmas, and I think I'm going to machine piece it (for time--I'm still very slow) but try some handquilting. She will love it. Gran learned handquilting when she married my grandfather and her new MIL and aunts plunked her in a chair at a quilting bee. She was given a needle and thread and her only instructions were "try to make your stitches a little smaller, honey"!
