So happy with the way my 2nd quilt top has turned out! It needs to be layered, quilted and then the binding will be the darker lavender color that's in the sashing.

Now to the quilting...since it's going to be used on a daily basis I was thinking of SID along the 9 inch blocks (this might make it more durable is what I was thinking...is this right?) and then hand stitching something in the 9 patch blocks...probably in the white blocks. Never having done hand quilting but wanting to learn...any one have any ideas what might be a good way to start?

I have just enough floral fabric left to make a pair of pillow cases to match. I made this quilt in honor of my Grandma, Elinor, and my Mother, Virginia. They were both remarkable women. They would have both been so pleased (and surprised!) to see this! ;-)

This is a queen size
