    Looks nice. I'm doing my first handquilted quilt, too, and I can't do near 2 hrs a night, so my baby quilt has taken me about a month and a half so far. :)

    There is a new virtual section for hand quilting topics, if you haven't seen it you might check it out.

    You seem to be doing a great job. The hardest part is keeping the stitches consistant. I have often used the method you are using. I mark my line with painter's tape and just move it over to the next spot when I finish one line. I can get a lot of quilting done and still enjoy TV or a conversation.

    NO!!!! I do a line a night, and I figure it will be another month before it's finished. I'll post a finished pic when it's done.
