Elle - that is absolutely stunning! I'm so pleased you've got the hand quilting bug and for a first attempt that is fabulous - heck, for ANY attempt!!! Especially since the wadding is so lofty - you didn't make it easy on yourself, but the effect is lovely; I've always used dream poly for wall hangings and small projects and Hobbs 80/20 for beds but have just started a bed quilt with Hobbs Wool - it's so lofty I was afraid at first but it's a dream to quilt and the effect is stunning! I might even try a wholecloth with it - one day! Now when I first started hand quilting, I NEVER thought I'd want to do a wholecloth!
