Wow, I can't believe you did all that quilting by hand. I just can't imagine doing that but I love hand quilted quilts. I understand why it took so long to finish. Hey, you did finish it!! :thumbup:
It's a very pretty quilt. Hopefully, you're a lot younger than I and can afford to make mistakes in choosing fabric, battting, etc. Probably, only YOU will know that it's not perfect. Lessons learned, huh? Why can't we do everything perfectly the first time around even if we have instructions???????????? I'm working on something right now and learning more lessons about designing, the hard way. I feel that I should have done a few things differently but.......................lesson learned.
