Borntoquilt, I love your quilting. I number years ago I made a deal with an artist (watercolor painting) friend. We traded our 'art work'. I made an Amish (all solid color) with black background. The challenge was quilting the black background. I found I could only do it in the daylight. He did a watercolor of flowers setting on a patchwork quilt.
Hand quilting is still my favorite method to finish off my projects. The only ones I get machine quilted are those for the small grandchildren or those that will be laundered a great deal. Keep up your beautiful hand quilting.
