I am attempting to handquilt. This is my first quilt to piece, and I'm simply doing a crosshatch. Keeping it real!

Nice job! I am thinking of trying a hand quilt on a wall hanging.

This is a king size quilt....I do two hours a night. I have this figured out to the hour lol.....There will be 66 lines both ways, 132 lines total....I'm doing 2 lines a night, so should take me about 2 months if I keep doing 2 hrs a night...

Looks great. I am a handquilter too. It's so rewarding to me and I take my time. ALways have one on the rack. Thanks for sharing.

LOL, it gets quicker with time! Needle becomes second nature, and it flys through the fabric.
Your lines are perfect :thumbup:
Good job. I like a project that takes a good long time to quilt, very relaxing.

I love hand quilting, not an expert by any means. I just find it very relaxing. Will probably have to do some machine quilting just to get through my stack of tops!
